In today's complex and dynamic business environment, thought-leadership, deep and specialist knowledge are key differentiators.

The MGSM PhD allows you to develop specialist expertise by conducting research that highlights the implications of your selected topic for the management profession.  The PhD develops the individual's critical research skills that underpin a superior capacity to investigate and analyse management issues.

Undertaking the MGSM PhD may afford you many opportunities.  Candidates undertake the PhD for a variety of reasons, including:  as preparation to change career; to become a specialist in an area; to develop a stronger academic understanding of an area enhancing existing practical expertise; and the recognition of having achieved a doctoral level degree.  The PhD offers a source of competitive advantage and an opportunity to fast-track your research, consulting or your industry career.

A flexible and applied alternative to traditional higher degree studies, the PhD is structured to minimise disruption to work, with classes held on weekends.

The PhD provides an opportunity for high calibre senior executives or consultants to refine, consolidate and extend their theoretical understanding and to apply that knowledge in an innovative and creative way.

We are very proud of our PhD and welcome your interest in the program.
