Description

As the financial landscape shifts, we are looking for ways to both understand and respond to changes in accounting and finance.

Over the past few years our research has been published in a range of quality journals. Subjects include financial reporting and disclosure, auditing quality, corporate governance, corporate ownership structure, public accounting, management accounting, social and environmental accounting, the accountancy profession, accounting history, Islamic accounting and finance and accounting education.

We also look to increase understanding of the social, economic and political interactions arising through the practice of accounting and auditing. And, through collaboration with leading firms, we are closing the gap that has emerged between academic accounting research and the real world of accountancy practice.

Whatever your area of specialism, the PhD programme is three years full-time or six years part-time. During that time, you’ll have two supervisors who are experts in your area of study.

By the end of your research period, you’ll complete a thesis of up to 100,000 words, the aim of which is to demonstrate your capacity to pursue scholarly research independently. It must make an original contribution to knowledge and be of a standard appropriate for publication in a high quality, peer-reviewed academic journal of international standing. It’s usual for a PhD thesis to contain the equivalent of at least three articles which are eligible for publication in such a journal.

Once you’ve submitted your thesis and it has been read by two examiners, you’ll take an oral examination or 'viva' during which you’ll be expected to show mastery of your topic.

Space to study

We’ve created an excellent setting for both individual and group study, including ergonomically-designed work areas connected to modern IT infrastructure, a dedicated doctoral research area and comfortable research lounge.

Vast range of resources

The Business School library houses extensive specialist loan and reference collections of business, finance and management books; doctoral, MBA and Masters dissertations; a complete collection of Business School working papers and offers access to over 10,000 journals online.

Using library subscriptions you’ll be able to access up-to-date journal, financial and market research information, from sources such as FAME, Mintel, IMID, European Business asap and Pro-Quest. There’s also a wide range of information available via online databases, including: Emerald, Mintel, Lexis-Nexis, Reuter's Business Insight, IMF Statistical Service Online.

In addition, you’ll have access to Durham University’s prestigious libraries, archives and museums. These facilities are internationally renowned and provide excellent resources for postgraduate study in the humanities, social science and science.

Comprehensive IT facilities

Durham University’s IT service offers access to everything you’d expect to find in a leading business school including: Computer Centre open 24/7, fully IT-integrated classrooms, dedicated IT helpdesk and DUO – the University’s virtual learning environment. You’ll also have access to the IT facilities provided by your college.

Experimental research laboratory

Our new high-specification lab features the latest equipment and systems for virtual reality and immersive environment testing. This includes voice and eye tracking and other biometric analysis, as well as high-tech fixed and mobile observation.

Facilities include a large lab room with 13 cubicles (including one wheelchair-accessible), a soundproof room enabling observation during small group interactions or single-candidate interviews, and cameras to facilitate facial recognition experiments, and a seminar room with full observation and two-way communication facilities.

Researcher Training Programme

Postgraduate study is demanding. To succeed, you need a clear understanding of your discipline and how you’d like to contribute to it. Whatever your chosen field, you’ll require research skills, particularly research method skills, and a wider range of personal transferable skills. That’s why our Researcher Development Programme is designed to get you off to a good start and continue to support you throughout your studies.

The programme is open to all students registered for higher degrees by thesis and provides training intended to complement the discipline-specific training offered by the Business School. The skills you’ll acquire will not only help your research at Durham, but also enhance your employability.

The Programme is made up of a series of courses, online study and developmental opportunities throughout the year. You’ll begin with a thorough online needs assessment, with the support of your supervisor, to allow you to plan your training activities. This is reviewed as you progress through your studies to ensure you are being offered the best development opportunities to enhance your career.

Module descriptions

This module will support students to develop a critical understanding of organisations and the markets they serve, taking into account the internal workings and management of organisations. It will also work to raise awareness of the diversity of perspectives on business behaviour (customer, manager, creditor, owner, employee, etc). Students can expect to have outlined some of the economic, environmental, ethical, governmental, legal, social and technological issues surrounding business activity. There will also be a focus on exploring the current structure of business and business practice. Students will acquire a range of key skills, including decision making and problem-solving.

This module is assessed by a written business report, an examination and a podcast.

Recommended texts for this module include Pearson's Edexcel AS and A level Business (by Dave Hall et al.) and AQA’s Business for A-Level (by Ian Marcouse et al.).

This module seeks to introduce students to both pure and strategic maths. Pure mathematics explores the boundary of mathematics and pure reason. It has been described as "that part of mathematical activity that is done without explicit or immediate consideration of direct application," although what is "pure" in one era often becomes applied later. Strategic mathematics involves applying analytical methods to help make better decisions. The approach often involves constructing and using mathematical models and problem structuring methods to represent the wide range of problems encountered in the real world. The results of these models allow decisions that are more informed. The module content includes calculus, trigonometry, complex numbers, linear programming, game theory, and critical path analysis.

This module is assessed by two invigilated examinations.

Recommended texts for this module are Edexcel AS and A Level Mathematics, Pure Mathematics Year 2 and Edexcel AS and A Level Further Mathematics – Decision Mathematics 1.

This module seeks to introduce students to the fundamentals of economics in order to prepare them for further study in this subject. It will develop students’ theoretical and practical skills in economics, equip students with the ability to evaluate different forms of economic policies and enable students to correctly interpret economic data.

This module is assessed by an examination.

Recommended texts for this module include Pearson Edexcel’s A and AS Level Economics (by Alain Anderton).

The module will discuss the importance of incremental contribution, basic research design issues, issues with analysing data and tabulating results, and extending extant research. The module will comprise a mixture of faculty-led lectures, interactive student-led presentations and discussions. Accounting conservatism Recognition vs. disclosure IFRS adoption Bank accounting Financial instruments and fair value accounting Economic consequences of financial reporting and disclosure Advanced Accounting: Theory This is a module in accounting research for first-year doctoral students. The module comprises nine weekly sessions, each based on a published academic paper (or suite of papers). Each session involves a student-led discussion of the paper(s), with faculty providing a facilitating role for the discussion. The aim is to understand key research contributions, methods, and opportunities for further research. The determinants and consequences of accounting choice Various measures of earnings quality and their determinants and consequences Accounting anomalies and the use of accounting information in fundamental analysis The role of auditors as a corporate governance mechanism The application of experimental methods to examine accounting issues Understanding of behavioural theory in accounting research Advanced Asset Pricing I The course covers various aspects of equilibrium asset prices in dynamic economies. The aims of this course are to introduce students to the main asset pricing theories that are fundamental to research development in finance and to provide an understanding of how asset pricing models are formally constructed. On completion of this unit successful students will be able to have an understanding of key elements in the mainstream asset pricing theories, systematic knowledge in both implications of asset pricing models and empirical implementations. Topics covered Utility preferences 2 Mean-variance theory and the CAPM Stochastic discount factor Arrow-Debreu economy and state prices Dynamic programming Consumption-based asset pricing Production-based asset pricing. Advanced Asset Pricing II This course takes place in the second term and builds upon the Manchester taught module AcF853, which is an advanced dominantly theoretical asset pricing course. Spillover effects from AcF851 Advanced Quantitative Methods are also anticipated. In the first part of the module recent advances in cross-sectional asset pricing will be covered. This will include an empirical treatment of the classical asset pricing model and its extensions and related testing and model specification approaches. This part will cover the critical assessment of existing models in the light of risk-based and behaviour explanations as well as multi-factor models related to profitability and investment patterns across firms. In the second part of the module will focus and the consumption-based model both from a theoretical and empirical perspective. In the third part of the module asset pricing with option implied information will be covered. This includes the theoretical coverage, and understanding of the options data structure as well as the empirical implementation in advanced software packages. The last part of the module will focus on mutual and hedge funds. This includes their performance evaluation and performance attribution from a mainly empirical perspective. Unique characteristics of hedge funds and various hedge fund strategies will be covered. The topics covered in this module will be fine-tuned to the specific decomposition of each year's PhD student cohort. Advanced Corporate Finance I This course is designed to help you understand how to operationalise empirical research on topics that are central to corporate finance. The overarching goal is to expose you to “state-of-the-art” empirical research methods and prepare them to conduct their own work using new tools.

How to Contact Us Library & Collections Business School Things To Do Research Methods (Developmental Psychology) September 2025 September 2024 1 year full-time Durham City Course details The MA in Research Methods (Developmental Psychology) is an ESRC-accredited Social Sciences & Health Faculty degree in which departments from across the University work together to deliver a tailored study programme that explores human development through a research lens. It is primarily designed for students who plan to continue their graduate studies at PhD level in the broad area of developmental psychology or work as a research psychologist. It is also relevant for students wishing to pursue careers in applied areas, such as clinical or educational psychology. Students intending to have a career as a research psychologist need to acquire a high level of research skills at postgraduate level. Research methods training, co-ordinated through the Durham Research Methods Centre, therefore forms a central part of the MA course, including both quantitative and qualitative research methods. One third of the course is also devoted to the dissertation which may be carried out in any area of psychology related to development. The taught course modules include both generic and subject level components, providing an introduction to broad issues and methodological approaches in developmental psychology and the social sciences. Course structure Core modules:. Interdisciplinary Perspectives and Practices Across Social Research introduces the areas of contemporary social scientific research practice. You will develop an understanding of the intersection where philosophical, methodological and disciplinary contexts meet, including qualitative, quantitative, statistical, computational and historical programmes of research. You will also explore the various issues involved in the application of these methods inside and outside academia and will consider the ethical issues involved such as power and equality. Qualitative Methods and Analysis supports your preparation for conducting qualitative research equipping you with the knowledge and skills to understand and appraise qualitative social sciences research, including different approaches to research and design and the analysis of qualitative data. Advanced Developmental Psychology Review teaches the skills to create and deliver literature reviews as well as providing analysis of key topics in the field of developmental psychology, including research skills, data handling, writing styles and methods of presentation. Research Design in Child and Clinical Psychology provides an introduction to the methods and design used in child and clinical psychology and offers practical training in the transferable skills relevant for professional and personal development. Current Issues in Developmental Psychology and Psychopathology provides in-depth knowledge of current theoretical stances and methodological issues within the fields of developmental psychology and neurodiversity. The aim is for you to gain a broad understanding of typical development and then consider different development pathways. Quantitative Methods and Analysis develops your knowledge, critical understanding and skills in quantitative data analysis and teaches you how to use statistical techniques for exploration and description of data sets. You will also learn how to make appropriate statistical inferences about associations between social phenomena. Advanced Statistics for Psychology and the Behavioural Sciences teaches you a set of advanced statistical methods that are used across psychology and the behavioural sciences, equipping you with the skills to confidently identify appropriate statistical techniques and analyse data using relevant software across a range of different types of research. The Dissertation enables you to design, implement, analyse and finally discuss an empirical project relevant to your field of study, giving you the opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge you have acquired and to gain experience of collaborating with other researchers and undertaking research and project management. The Department provides excellent support and opportunities for conducting a significant piece of independent research. Alternative modules (depending on prior knowledge and understanding) include: Advanced Ethnographic Research Multilevel Modelling Simulating Data in R Systematic Review Computational Social Science Participatory Action Research Statistics in Health and Medicine with R Create Your Own Prospectus Explore Our Scholarships Meet Our Students Book an Open Day The course is delivered through a mixture of lectures, seminars and practical classes. Lectures provide key information on a particular topic, such as social and emotional development. Seminars are held in order that smaller group teaching can take place, with focused discussion on specific topics. Finally, practical and workshop classes allow you to gain direct experience, particularly in how to use statistical tools. The balance of this type of activity varies as a function of the module. This is a one year course, with students having the summer term to work on dissertation related activities. You will typically attend approximately 12 hours a week comprising lectures, tutorials and seminars. Outside timetabled contact hours, you are also expected to undertake your own independent study to prepare for your classes and broaden your subject knowledge, as well as conduct your dissertation. Independent study is a key element to the course, with complex factors raised in lectures that do assume some prior knowledge of the topic area. The course is divided into three parts. One third, comprising three modules, is of subject specific topics related to developmental psychology and developmental psychopathology, including issues relevant to clinical/ educational work throughout development. Across these modules, the material is delivered via a combination of lectures, seminars, practical workshops and discussions. A further three modules focus on placing psychology in the larger framework of social science research and providing generic research skills, for example, qualitative and quantitative analysis skills. The final third of the course is the dissertation, which reflects the culmination of learning and practical endeavours from throughout the course via the production of an independent and original body of research material. This is performed under supervision with a member of staff, with meetings varying in duration and frequency throughout the year as a function of the needs of the research project and student. Assessment features examinations, written assignments, oral presentations, and the completion of a dissertation. Entry requirements 2:1 in Psychology or Psychology related subject (or equivalent).
