Overview of Research
Aberdeen Business School offers a supportive and stimulating research environment. Research activities underpin our teaching and further enhance the quality and relevance of our courses. The School undertakes a wide range of externally funded research projects. In the 2008 RAE a considerable amount of our research, across the departments, was determined to be either at the level of 'International Excellence' or internationally recognised in terms of its originality, significance and rigour.
Research and the advancement of knowledge are integral to the University with its focus on the provision of a 'professional education based on leading edge teaching and research within a supportive learning environment'.
We welcome enquiries from candidates who are considering studying for a PhD or professional doctorate. To find out more on Research Degree Opportunities.
