Leeds University Business School highlights several key research themes across its six departments where PhD applications are especially encouraged. While these research areas don't come with dedicated funding, they can be included in scholarship proposals. For scholarship opportunities, refer to our fees and scholarships section. Alongside the listed research topics, applicants may propose their own ideas, provided they clearly align with the Business School's academic focus.
Our Department's research hub, the Applied Institute for Research in Economics (AIRE), fosters and shares economic and political economy research at Leeds University. Adopting an interdisciplinary methodology, we maintain robust collaborations at local, national, and global levels, working across disciplines including business, social sciences, and STEM fields.
