Management, Employment and Organisation

Management, Employment and Organisation is a research area within which you can focus your studies as part of Cardiff University’s Business Studies PhD programme.

The PhD Management, Employment and Organisation programme from Cardiff University will prepare you either for a career as a leading academic scholar or to excel in business practitioning or senior public policy decision making.

Along the way you will be encouraged to publish, before completing an innovative thesis that contributes to academic debate in your chosen field.
