The new PhD programme, the Innovation and Management PhD, has been designed to advance participants’ knowledge and skills to allow them to lead successful research campaigns, creating innovation and offering organisations a competitive edge in their market.
The part-time course can be completed in five years and is open to both self-funded learners and to those funded by organisations.
The course will help participants develop their skills to lead organisations toward research success in the face of challenges and changing market conditions, including self-developed research projects that will have the potential to dramatically benefit their organisations.
Professor Tat-Hean Gan, Director of Membership, Innovation and Global Operations at TWI said, “We're very excited to offer this new programme with ARU. The course is available to a diverse range of industries and individuals, and it provides participants with the tools to thrive in high-level leadership roles. Upon graduation, participants will be able to demonstrate revolutionary thinking, build robust strategies, and unlock technology potential. They will have the ability to lead their organisations towards success even in the most challenging of times."
Professor Yvonne Barnett, Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation from ARU said, “In line with our mission to transform lives through innovative, inclusive and entrepreneurial education and research, ARU is delighted to be working in collaborative partnership with TWI to offer this innovative PhD."
She continued, “Experts from both partners will work to support participants to develop a unique programme of work focussed on creating new insights, and impact for their organisations. This applied focus will help to ensure that the Doctoral graduates will be equipped with new knowledge, methods, networks and insights from other professionals to ensure continued impact and success”.
