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.
