This is a strong fit for applicants interested in business, management, hospitality management, tourism, transport, events, digital innovation, and sustainability-oriented research.

Eligibility highlights include meeting PhD entry requirements, demonstrating academic excellence and strong research potential, and being open to either UK or international candidature.
