The course combines a more traditional focus on industrial relations with workplace learning and broader human resource development issues. This course is designed to meet the learning and professional development needs of a range of practitioners, including trade union organisers and representatives, managers, researchers and policy-makers who are involved in employee relations either from the perspective of the individual or the organisation, as well as those who require a broad academic foundation for work in these fields. Students will generally be involved in delivering, managing or promoting learning and training in an unionised environment.

The distance learning PhD is ideal for those who are based away from Leicester or who want to combine working for a research degree with their professional and personal commitments.
Our distance programmes offer a more flexible way to study for a research degree - allowing you to undertake a University of Leicester PhD or MPhil wherever you are based in the world.

As with the campus based PhD/MPhil programme, you will undertake a substantial research project that is written up as a thesis of 80,000 words (PhD) or 50,000 words (MPhil) and defended in an oral examination (the "viva voce" examination).

Entry Requirements

a UK undergraduate (Bachelors) degree with at least first class or upper second class honours
or

an equivalent qualification from a recognised overseas institution

The undergraduate qualification should normally be in a subject relevant to the subject of the PhD/MPhil.

Research degrees are demanding and intensive programmes. To succeed at this level, applicants must be highly motivated, be able to work independently and as part as part of a team, be able to plan and manage their own work, and have an appropriate familiarity with the discipline and its associated research techniques.
