Our research expertise is embedded in our academic departments below, and you are strongly recommended to explore our departmental web pages, before applying, so that you can better position your research proposal to fit with academics' current research interests. Aston Business School - Accounting - Economics, Finance and Entrepreneurship - Marketing and Strategy - Operations and Information Management - Work and Organisation Research environment We have an exciting and vibrant research environment at Aston Business School that enables our PhD students to be engaged in various research events and seminars (Aston Business School-wide and PhD-specific). Our PhDs have a dedicated research society which organises various social and academic related events throughout the year, including the ABS Annual Doctoral Conference. We strongly believe that these activities are an essential part of ensuring our PhD students are engaged and motivated throughout the duration of their PhD journey. Our academic departments also run research seminar series (and other activities) where PhD students are encouraged to present their research and get feedback from colleagues. All students can access up to £1,500 for presenting at academic conferences and to help further develop their research knowledge, skills, abilities and professional development.
