Overview

Key facts

Like a PhD, individuals who work towards a EntD pursue a research project built around a substantial piece of work, which has to show evidence of original contribution to knowledge. However, the Doctor of Enterprise is designed for students whose emphasis is on the need for research to underpin a new business, social enterprise, or innovative service idea.
Completing an EntD at the University of Huddersfield can give you a great sense of personal achievement and help you develop a high level of transferable skills which will be useful in your subsequent career, as well as contributing to the development of knowledge in your chosen field.
