PHD programmes: faculty interests

The following list includes all research active members of faculty. The list contains information on Section membership - Accounting & Finance, Economics, Human Resource Management, Logistics & Operations Management and Marketing & Strategy, and links to the Section webpage for each member of staff listed.

PhD Applicants:

Cardiff Business School has an extensive range of research expertise available to PhD students. You should contact individual faculty members by email with your initial ideas for your Research Proposal. This will help you to identify a potential supervisor and to develop and refine your Research Proposal. Initial research plans often change, perhaps because the student is unaware of on-going research in the field or perhaps to align the student's research topic more closely to the interests and expertise of potential supervisors. This is a very important stage in the application process and you should consider your research plans very carefully. For example, although Cardiff is a global business school with an international faculty, they may not be an expert on your own country of origin. As a result, research projects which adopt a comparative focus, for example between the UK and your own country, are more likely to be of interest to potential supervisors and more likely to produce analytically significant results.

Note: Only Professors and Doctors are eligible to act as PhD supervisors
