The PhD Programme is London Business School’s investment in the future of management teaching and research. Expert faculty, partnership opportunities, leading‑edge research methods and close supervision contribute to an outstanding study environment.
PhD Programme Structure
The PhD at London Business School is a five‑year programme. In the first two years, students complete core and elective courses in their chosen subject and related areas. They then go on to present a thesis proposal in order to transfer from MPhil to PhD status. After a successful transfer, students have 18 months to complete a thesis – an original contribution to their chosen specialisation. Having successfully defended their thesis, and following the completion of any required amendments, they are awarded a London Business School PhD degree.
