About the course

Create research that has an impact on the areas of accounting, accountability, governance and performance management. Working with our Accounting and Society Research Mobilisation Group you’ll enjoy a dynamic research environment and high-quality supervision. The Group specialises in research in: social, environmental and ethical accountability and sustainability, data and analytics in accounting, capital market-based accounting research, governance and executive compensation. Our researchers have strong academic backgrounds. They actively engage with national and international research networks and collaborations. In addition, they also have good links with the business community, Government, non-profit organisations and professional accountancy bodies. You can choose to study for a PhD or an MPhil. PhD and MPhil degrees differ in duration and in the extent of your research work. For a PhD, your research work makes a substantial original contribution to knowledge or understanding in your chosen field. For an MPhil, your work is an independent piece of research but in less depth than for a PhD. You’ll graduate with the degree title Master of Philosophy. You might be able to change to a PhD while you study for an MPhil. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
