PhD School of Business and Law
Course overview
The PhD School of Business and Law from the University of East London lets students do their own deep and new research. It provides a place that encourages fresh ideas that go beyond the usual ways of thinking about subjects. Students lead their own research project, working closely with supervisors who are leading professors and experts. This means students are helped and supported throughout their research time. The School gives a strong teaching base built from its successful Master's courses, such as the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and other Master of Laws degrees.
This doctoral course gets students ready for their future jobs by giving them important work experience. This includes chances to teach undergraduate students at the University. Those doing the postgraduate course can also volunteer at the UEL Legal Advice Centre. Here, they work with local lawyers to offer free legal advice to people in the community. This strong focus on top-quality research and real-world skills means graduates are very appealing to employers and universities all over the world.
