About Information Management, PhD - at Loughborough Business School, Loughborough University

Make a novel contribution to knowledge, position yourself as an expert in your field, and open a range of doors with future employers – by embarking on a PhD at Loughborough Business School.

You’ll be joining a dynamic community that inspires talented researchers from all over the planet to progress new ideas for businesses and policymakers that are helping to shape a fairer, more sustainable future.

Our doctoral researchers study towards a PhD in business and management, economics or information science, working under the supervision of two or more supervisors.

From investigating big data, mobile technologies, email and social media, to exploring open and linked data, and knowledge management in the voluntary sector.

We welcome PhD proposals relating to:

  • AI: applications, ethics and cultural considerations
  • digital culture, wellbeing, decentralisation and disintermediation, open data
  • analytics and decision: sentiment analysis, decision support, smart contracts, decentralised autonomous organisation.
