subject: The Mphil In Management And The Phd In Management From The University Of Southampton [print this page] The MPhil in Management and the PhD in Management from the Management School at the University of Southampton lasts four years if completed fully.
As a research student you will be registered initially for the MPhil in Management and are then transferred to PhD in Management after a period of satisfactory progress.
Minimum registration periods are: one year for the MPhil (two years part-time); two years for the PhD (three years part-time). In practice you should expect to spend at least one more year of study than these minimum periods.
During the MPhil in Management and the PhD in Management you will normally be required to attend designated Research Training Courses within the School of Management, as well as elsewhere at the University. The School also supports research students to attend and present their work at international conferences.
The University of Southampton was named as one of the UKs top 15 research universities after the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. It is also a member of the influential Russell Group, which is an association of 20 major UK research universities.

When he is not leading the MPhil in Management and the PhD in Management he is an active researcher within CORMSIS: Centre for Operational Research, Management Science and Information Systems.
