Study options

We support career and learning development for students at all levels, from undergraduate students and early-career researchers to experienced academics and practitioners.

Postgraduate study and research

We run taught masters-level courses as well as providing opportunities for postgraduate research study.

Our four knowledge platforms bring together expertise in:

  • Digital Transformation — Exploring how technology transforms lives and communities, and how digitisation can improve business productivity, efficiency and sustainability
  • Market Transformation — Helping to reshape the nature and governance of consumer, not-for-profit and business markets
  • Transforming Places — through our research for the Institute of Place Management and others we are helping create sustainable and thriving spaces and places, built around the needs of people who use them

Our postgraduate research community is built around the needs of its members. As well as being supported by eminent and influential supervisors, you will also have access to a wide range of development activities, including our seminar series.
