Overview

This is a hybrid part-time learning programme, combining online modules with on-campus residencies during the first two years, to allow working professionals to study while fulfilling their job obligations.

Features

The Executive Business Administration at University of Liverpool expands the traditional support from an expert supervisor, with Doctoral Development Plan modules aimed at strengthening the students' research capabilities, so they are able to deploy these skills during their thesis workplan and after graduation.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

During the pre-thesis stage students will complete four modules aimed at developing their research skills.

This is an intensive 2-year period which combines four on-campus residencies with online learning sessions.

During the thesis development stage, students receive regular one-to-one online support from their individual supervisor. In addition, students are provided with continuous research skills development through two new Doctoral Development Plan modules.

During these sessions, students have access to group seminars and refresher workshops on different methodologies and aspects of the research process.

The goal is to build capability and capacity, for students to be able to deploy these skills, not only in their thesis workplan, but also to continue doing this after graduation.
