Master of Science by Research - Business and Management

Within the broad areas of business management, there are multiple themes available to study an MSc by Research, MPhil or PhD.  These could be in functional areas such as human resource management, finance, operations and strategic development or in specific themes such as sustainable business, data analytics for decision making, international management, leadership and digital transformation. 

Topics could be formed to investigate management at an organisational, regional and/or national level, as well as in private, public or third sector organisations. The subject area is broad with a wide variety of projects available e.g. public/private partnerships, labour migration, and consumer behaviour.

Students may adopt a variety of methodological approaches, both quantitative and qualitative, as part of their research.  Study in this area helps develop many of the core competencies required by organisations

Abertay University's research programmes will prepare students for a rewarding career as an academic and researcher, as well as opening up opportunities for a diverse range of careers outside of academia.
