The School of Hospitality and Tourism Management at the University of Surrey is offering full-time doctoral (postgraduate research) studentships in Hospitality and Tourism starting in October 2014.
The studentships will cover tuition fees, and provide maintenance for a total of up to £14,340 pa*.
We are looking to recruit exceptional doctoral (PhD) students whose research interests complement our areas of research strengths to join our PhD programme (3 year studentship) and our Integrated PhD programme (3 years 9 months studentship).
Our PhD programme comprises approximately three years of full time study during which you will undertake a structured, supervised programme of scholarly research leading to a thesis that makes an original contribution to knowledge and is of a standard appropriate for publication in high-quality refereed journals.
Our Integrated PhD comprises 3 years 9 months of study and is designed for those who wish to develop a broad grounding in high level research methods and skills as part of their doctoral studies. It is particularly suited to those wishing to pursue an academic or research career, or those currently in academic posts. The Integrated PhD is completed in two sequential stages. Stage one comprises approximately nine months of full-time study including eight taught compulsory modules covering research methods, researcher skills and subject-specific knowledge and understanding. Stage two comprises approximately three years of full time study during which you will undertake a structured, supervised programme of scholarly research leading to a thesis that makes an original contribution to knowledge and is of a standard appropriate for publication in high-quality refereed journals.
As a member of the ESRC funded South East Doctoral Training Centre we offer excellent research training and the opportunity to be part of a vibrant research community that shapes agendas of scholarship and practice.
Successful candidates will normally have or expect to be awarded a first class (1st) Bachelors degree and have or expect to be awarded a minimum of distinction on their Masters degree in Hospitality/Tourism Management or related discipline. They will have outstanding research potential and enthusiasm to pursue research in an area consistent with our research expertise.
