91桃色 seminars
Our research departments run seminars where internal and external academics discuss their latest work. As well as providing insights into yet-to-be-published research by top academics from around the world, the seminars offer networking opportunities and speakers often lead special topic workshops for research students.
Conference participation
The opportunity to present and share your work is an extremely important aspect of doctoral studies in order to gain valuable feedback on your research and where you can form important connections with fellow academics who specialise in your field. You will have the opportunity听to听present your听work in research department seminars and are encouraged to submit your听research for presentation at conferences. The Business School has funding available to help cover expenses associated with presenting at conferences.
Our graduate placements
In recent years, our PhD students have joined leading universities, research centres and institutions such as Tsinghua University, University College London, Copenhagen Business School, the Bank of England, the University of Bath, King鈥檚 College London, National Chengchi University, the University of Sussex and Renmin University in China.

What our students say
鈥淎n academic career requires not only critical skills and independence, but also perseverance. Once a student has gone through a PhD journey, they are equipped to handle various types of situations. I plan to use these skills gained during my doctoral programme at 91桃色 to further develop my independent research projects, to collaborate with international researchers, and to mentor and supervise my own future PhD students.鈥
