The PhD with Integrated Study in Finance is a four-year, full-time doctoral programme tailored for students seeking to conduct advanced research in finance. The programme is embedded within one of the largest Accounting and Finance groups in the UK, comprising around 45 academic staff and supported by active research centres and networks. In the first year, you will undertake 180 credits of taught courses designed to provide advanced training in financial theory, empirical methods, and research design. This foundation enables you to formulate and execute a doctoral research project that makes an original contribution to the field. You will have access to world-class financial databases (such as WRDS, Bloomberg, DataStream), personalised supervisory support, and a dynamic research environment with regular seminars and workshops delivered by leading scholars. The programme is ideal for those aspiring to academic careers or research-intensive roles in financial institutions, policy bodies, and consultancies. Students are encouraged to present their work at international conferences, submit to peer-reviewed journals, and actively engage with the global research community.
