Research at Kingston Business School
& Kingston Law School
An essential part of Faculty life
Our research activities play a very important role in the Business School and the Law School. We have a vibrant research community; staff and research students work alongside associates from government, industry and the professions. The activities we are involved in include:
- Research centres and groups in all departments
- Established doctoral research programmes
- External collaboration with blue chip companies
Research is a key part of our approach to learning and each department runs its own programmes and projects within a coordinated Faculty framework. We also encouage and resource specialist research, undertaken by students studying for their PhD and DBA doctorates.
Our commitment to research is illustrated by the excellent showing by the Business School and Law School in the recent Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) 2008.
A wide ranging approach
- Research groups working in a wide range of business and law issues, nationally and internationally
- Staff involved in research and consultancy in their departments
- Specialist expertise in such areas as small business and employment
Special projects are conducted for external clients involving undergraduate, postgraduate and doctoral students as well as our expert staff. This ongoing work gives depth to teaching and learning across the Faculty.
Acknowledged Centre of Excellence
- International reputations of staff
- Supported secondments to industry and government
- Dedicated facilities
- Ongoing external funding from private and public sector sponsors
- Member of EUDOKMA and EDAMBA (European Doctoral Programmes Association in Management and Business Administration) an international consortium for the training of postgraduate research students
Our commitment to excellence is reflected in the international reputations of staff, both academically and with their respective industry organisations. External sponsors such as HSBC Bank, Nokia, the Soros Foundation and the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) provide substantial and ongoing funding.

My return to academia was supposed to be a short study break before resuming work in the City. Instead, due to the fantastic research environment at Kingston, I enrolled on a management PhD to study Chief Executive pay. I am in my second year of the PhD and enjoying the challenge of individual study. The Faculty and facilities at Kingston Business School provide the perfect support required for post-graduate studies.'
