Welcome
The right environment
We aim to provide an environment in which our researchers
can flourish. As a doctoral researcher at WBS you can expect ideas,
rigorous critical enquiry, international perspectives and practical
relevance to shape your experience and your work. In addition to
your own research you will have the opportunity to collaborate with
recognised experts in their field producing leading research,
participating in seminars and conferences, and contributing to
teaching within the school.
Plenty of support
You will receive plenty of support through a comprehensive and
structured research training programme which is recognised by the
Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). We offer a number of
scholarships and bursaries and also various research/conference
travel allowances.
An ideal base
Added to this, the high quality facilities we offer in beautiful
campus surroundings will help you maintain a healthy balance
between work and leisure. Dedicated desk space, IT resources
and support, specialist library services and careers advice
are just some of the advantages you can expect. With all the
resources you need in one place, including excellent sporting
and entertainment facilities, and easy transport links to
London and elsewhere, WBS is an ideal base for your research.
We look forward to welcoming you to WBS.
