Define your research area
To start your research degree journey you’ll need to spend some time defining your research area before you develop your research proposal and start the application process.
Watch our step-by-step guide on how to define your research area.
Viewing this page in China? Watch on Bilibili .
Step 1: Identify your research department
At the Business School, we are keen to make sure that your research links as closely as possible to our own research interests and expertise. We believe that this helps you not only produce work to a high standard but also helps to integrate you more fully into the wider research community within the School and more generally.
By defining your research in this way you are also likely to receive more focused advice and support in the future with publishing and disseminating your results.
None of this means that you will be discouraged from developing your own ideas and interests. Rather our aim is to ensure that the time you spend with us is as productive and focused as possible.
To identify your research you will need to:
Decide which of our seven research departments you think your research is best suited to. We are currently welcoming applications within identified research areas . You could also suggest your own topic, but must define your research within Leeds University Business School.
With our interdisciplinary and collaborative approach, each department has multiple associated research centres. Consider which research centres your research proposal might best fit.
Look at our supervisor profiles to gauge whose research interests align with your own. However at this stage, we can’t guarantee who’ll be assigned as your supervisor.
Step 2: Check entry requirements
Once you’ve identified the appropriate department, you’ll need to ensure you meet our entry requirements to be eligible to study for a research degree.
Make sure you check the department entry requirements as these can differ between areas.
Step 3: Complete the ‘Defining your research area’ form
Download and complete the ‘Defining your research area’ form which you will submit as part of your application.
You can only select one research department and one or two research centres when you complete the form, so the previous steps are crucial to ensuring an accurate submission.
Next steps
Now that you have defined your research, you are ready to start developing your research proposal.
Find out more about writing your research proposal and how to apply .

Research degrees fees
Postgraduate research fees are not regulated by the UK government so decisions on UK undergraduate fees do not apply to them. Our postgraduate research fees are set independently and reviewed on an annual basis.
You are classified as either a home or international postgraduate researcher for the purpose of assessing tuition fees. Where your status is not clear from your application, you will enter our fee assessment process .
The following fees listed are meant as a guide only. An annual bench fee may be charged in addition to academic fees where the research projects undertaken require a high expenditure on consumables, equipment or other resources. Please check with the admissions team for your research area for accurate information.
If you are a former student of the University of Leeds you may be eligible for a 10% alumni tuition fee bursary .
You may also need to pay additional study costs in some instances.

---|---|---|
UK students | £4,712 | £4,786 |
UK students (part time) | £2,356 | £2,393 |
The fee quoted is based on full-time study and shows the fee charged for postgraduate researchers studying in that academic year. The fee may increase in future years of your studies in line with inflation.
International postgraduate research annual fees
The following fees for international postgraduate researchers are based on full-time study and apply for each year of the course. These fees are fixed at this level for each year of your course allowing you to plan your finances for the duration of your studies.
Fees for the 2024/25 academic year will be confirmed later in 2023.

- Model A involving a strategic partnership with a commercial/industrial organisation or an international academic or research institution. These are full-time programmes and are normally cohort-based.
- Model B involving individual postgraduate researchers. These are part-time programmes.

If you are still undertaking new research in the overtime period, the full fee may be charged.
Your offer letter will state the end of the standard period of study and also the maximum time limit. The difference is usually the overtime period. Full-time postgraduate researchers normally have one year of overtime and part-time/split site have two years.
Fee status assessment
You are classified as either a home or international postgraduate researcher for the purpose of assessing tuition fees. Only certain categories of students will be charged the home tuition fee.
Where it is not clear from your application form whether you have home or international status, the Admissions Operations team will contact you to carry out a fee assessment. This may be before or after you have received an offer. For further information and advice, see our fee assessment page .

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE
The programme is designed to introduce you to key marketing principles and data analytics, enabling informed decision making in strategic marketing. In Term 1, you’ll develop fundamental skills in statistical modelling, marketing principles, analytics, and programming. Term 2 advances to strategic skills in economics, marketing strategy, machine learning, and market intelligence, with options to specialise in pricing, data management, or risk analysis. Throughout the year, you’ll build and expand these skills, culminating in Term 3 with a business project that provides industry experience with an established organisation, and further specialisation in digital marketing or causal inference, preparing you for impactful marketing roles.
The programme will be delivered through a combination of lectures, workshops, class discussions based on case studies, practical sessions and group projects.
Students will take 4 compulsory taught modules in Term 1. In Term 2, students will take 3 compulsory modules and 1 optional taught module, (choosing from 3 bespoke modules).
Finally, in Term 3, students will take the business project with 1 optional taught module, (choosing from 2 bespoke modules).
All taught modules are 15 credits, and the business project in Term 3 will be 45 credits. The business project will put you into groups under the supervision of a faculty member to work with real-world external organisations. Students will be assessed on both individual and group components.
Each taught module will typically be delivered over 10 teaching weeks, with 3 contact hours per week. Students are expected to spend approximately 7–12 hours each week in non-contact hours on independent study, assessment preparation, e-learning, and exam revision.
The total number of weekly contact hours may vary according to the module demand and weekly activities undertaken.
