Doctor of Philosophy (Business)

A Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) is the highest level of academic qualification one can achieve. This qualification sets graduates apart as having developed an exhaustive understanding of a selected focus area in the discipline of business studies, placing graduates at the forefront of their chosen field of research.

Our PhD in Business provides students with opportunities to undertake extensive investigation within a chosen business field and they are encouraged to develop new ideas or employ well thought-out methodologies to produce noteworthy theoretical and practical contributions.

Students will utilise the best-suited research design to explore and/or test informed ideas. The outcome of the  research extends the frontiers of knowledge and students will disseminate the scholarly findings to peers and practitioners, through academic and professional networks, conferences/seminars and even publications.

Sunway University has a dedicated team of academics, including some in the top 1% and 2% of scientists or those who publish in top-tier international business journals, to mentor our students along their research journey as they investigate a topic of their choice. Students may pursue a topic or an issue in which they are currently researching within their work area, in which case the PhD can also be of direct relevance to current employment. Alternatively, students can choose to undertake research in any particular area that they are passionate about.

Our students will be a part of a team of leading international scholars, who actively promote scientific, technological, social and cultural progress while shaping business, legal and societal boundaries. By the end of the research study, our graduates would have developed expertise in their chosen field and be well-equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and personal attributes to carry out independent research.

You will be assigned at least two academic supervisors who will provide guidance on the formal specification of your topic, the structure and organisation of your thesis and the general direction of your research. To aid you in the transition to independent research and to help you acquire the necessary skills, you will complete a number of assessed taught modules during your first year of full time study, while part-time students normally complete within two years. Typical modules include: All streams: Developing Management Research, Research Design and Philosophy Business and Management stream: Introduction to Research Design and Data Analysis Finance and Risk stream: Contemporary Topics in Finance, Topics in Advanced Econometrics Industrial Economics stream: Advanced Macroeconomics or Advanced Microeconomic Theory (optional), Topics in Advanced Econometrics Students are required to submit an annual review in years one, two and three. You will submit draft literature chapters plus other required chapters along with delivering presentations about your research to a review panel of assessors. In year three, you will also submit a commentary that details how you have addressed the feedback you received from the previous year’s annual review. This will accompany an additional chapter submission and your presentation. If you are interested in applying, we encourage you to contact us to discuss your research project proposal with the relevant supervisor in the first instance. Please refer to the following link: https://www.nottingham.edu.my/business/courses/phd/phd-supervision.aspx  to determine if your research interests coincide with those of a potential supervisor. Why choose this programme?  You will be assigned three supervisors appropriate to your field who could be based in Malaysia or the School’s UK and/or China campuses. PhD students have access to the resources and facilities of the Graduate School along with access and use of NUBS Financial Trading Room and financial databases to enhance your postgraduate journey. As it is essential for PhD students to broaden their research outlook through the critical analysis of issues affecting businesses around the world, Nottingham University Business School’s unique global footprint with campuses in the United Kingdom, Malaysia and China enables our PhD students leverage on research resources across all three campuses. Course content An overview of the structure of a typical full-time doctoral timetable is as follows: Attend appropriate taught modules both within NUBS Malaysia and the GraduateSchool Define the nature of the research problem, identify appropriate analytic frameworks, and expect to have completed a first draft of Literature Review chapters Year 1 annual review (June) Expect to complete empirical work. If data collection is likely to be a lengthy process, e.g. due to issues related to gaining access to companies or because the study is longitudinal in nature, then the empirical work may start quite early in the student’s second year, or even at the end of the first year Year 2 annual review (June) Commence formal writing-up Expect to complete empirical work and produce draft write-up of results Submit completed thesis Year 3 annual review (June) Although a fourth year writing-up period is available, the expectation is that you will submit your thesis within three years. It is important that your research is written up on a continual basis during the three years of registration. Continual writing-up means that you should expect to prepare chapters to be read and commented on by your supervisors on a regular basis. This should help to ensure that when the formal writing-up period begins, you have a first draft of a thesis ready for modification. Annual review For your Year 1 annual review, you will submit a draft Literature Review chapter (8,000 words) and make a short presentation about your research to a review panel of assessors, which will include a clear summary of what you have achieved over the previous year, and a timeline for the completion of your PhD. You will also undergo a similar annual review at the end of Year 2 and Year 3. As part of the Year 2 annual review, you will submit a revised literature chapter and a sample chapter, which is likely to be a methods or empirical chapter. You will also be required to present your work to a review panel of assessors. Within your Year 3 annual review, you will submit a commentary that details how you have addressed the feedback received from the Year 2 annual review, and one or more empirical research chapters. You will also be required to present your work to a review panel of assessors. Supervision You will be assigned two academic supervisors who will provide guidance on the formal specification of your topic, the structure and organisation of your thesis and the general direction of the research. Regular supervision will help to ensure that your research progresses in the appropriate way. As a full-time doctoral student, you will meet with your supervisors on at least 10 occasions during the year. If you are a part-time student, at least six meetings take place during the year. Please refer to the research interests of our academic staff who supervise PhD research to determine if your research interests coincide with those of a potential supervisor. You may also refer to information on Research at NUBS Malaysia to determine if your research interests correspond with the wider research agenda within the School. The proposal is an integral part of the application for a position on the PhD programme at NUBS Malaysia. It will allow potential supervisors to look at the applicant’s research and help them decide whether the proposal is feasible for completion and whether they (the potential supervisors) can offer supervision or not. The proposal will also be considered by the School’s Research Committee to determine if there is adequate support for such a topic to be carried out at NUBS Malaysia. The proposal is expected to be 1,000 to 2,000 words long. If the applicant wishes to contact a member of academic staff from NUBS Malaysia to discuss potential supervision arrangements, it is advised that the applicant should either have a proposal ready, or is in the process of preparing a proposal to facilitate the discussion.
