This programme offers you the chance to undertake a substantial piece of work that is worthy of publication and which makes an original contribution to the field of organisational behaviour. You will begin on the MRes and will need to meet certain requirements to be upgraded to PhD status.
The MRes/PhD in Management – Organisational Behaviour is part of a rigorous and interdisciplinary graduate training programme. It is designed to stimulate critical thinking and creative ideas and provide you with the analytical skills to perform robust field studies, randomised lab experiments and quantitative study.
As a research-led department of management at the heart of LSE’s academic community in central London, we are ranked #5 in the world for social sciences and management.
In order to develop a global understanding of people and organisations, the group study phenomena in a wide range of settings, examining both the organisations themselves (macro-OB) and the people within those organisations (micro-OB) through rigorous and innovative research. Members of the group represent a wide range of disciplinary perspectives (management, economics, psychology, and sociology, judgement and decision making), and draw on theories and research from these diverse perspectives to achieve academic excellence and publish in leading journals. The OB group collaborates with faculty from other disciplines in the Department of Management and the wider School through initiatives such as the LSE Behavioural Lab, which is co-directed by the Department of Management and the Department of Psychological and Behavioural Science. The group actively engages with practitioners, policymakers, and LSE students and alumni in their efforts to improve society by enhancing the quality of working life and changing organisational and economic practices.
You will work closely with international and world-class faculty as part of a vibrant community of doctoral students, all of whom are pursuing varied research in different fields of management. The programme also includes a comprehensive methodological training with the opportunity to specialise in a designated field.

Minimum entry requirements for mres/phd in management - organisational behaviour.
Upper second class honours (2:1) degree in any discipline, or the equivalent.
Competition for places at the School is high. This means that even if you meet our minimum entry requirement, this does not guarantee you an offer of admission.
If you have studied or are studying outside of the UK then have a look at our Information for International Students to find out the entry requirements that apply to you.
The GRE/GMAT is required for all applicants. We do not require a specific GRE/GMAT overall score but the test gives us an indication of your aptitude for our programmes. There is no preference for GMAT or GRE but all applications must submit scores at the time of application. Your score should be less than five years old on 1 October 2024.
Please see LSE information on GRE and GMAT for more detail on our requirements and submission of test scores, including information on LSE’s institution codes.
Find out more about GRE/GMAT
We welcome applications for research programmes that complement the academic interests of members of staff at the School, and we recommend that you investigate staff research interests before applying.
We carefully consider each application on an individual basis, taking into account all the information presented on your application form, including your:
LSE Graduate Admissions information on supporting documents
You may also have to provide evidence of your English proficiency. You do not need to provide this at the time of your application to LSE, but we recommend that you do. See our English language requirements.
The application deadline for this programme is 15 January 2024 . See the fees and funding section for more details.
We do not require a specific overall score, but the test gives us an indication of aptitude for our programmes. A strong GMAT or GRE score will count in your favour, but other information, such as your research interests, your examination results, previous qualifications and references are central to our overall evaluation of your application. We recognise that if your first language is not English, the verbal test will be more demanding, and we view your score on that basis.
Our application process allows candidates to apply to up to two programmes. You can therefore apply to both the ERHR and the OB programme if you are unsure where your research interest will find the best match. This means Faculty from both groups will review your application, and you may be invited to interview for either one or both programmes.
Although Employment Relations and Human Resources (ERHR) and the Organisational Behaviour (OB) faculty members focuses on their respective research areas and interests, both faculty groups generally draw from similar disciplines (e.g., psychology, sociology, or economics), theoretical underpinning, and literatures that guide their multi-level (e.g., individual, groups, organisational, and/or institutional) quantitative and qualitative scholarship.
Applicants are encouraged to investigate ERHR and OB faculty interests to discern potential faculty who may have the best fit. If you would like advice on applying to both programmes or more detailed information on each programme you can talk with a member of our programme team by requesting a consultation .
Every research student is charged a fee in line with the fee structure for their programme. The fee covers registration and examination fees payable to the School, lectures, classes and individual supervision, lectures given at other colleges under intercollegiate arrangements and, under current arrangements, membership of the Students' Union. It does not cover living costs or travel or fieldwork.
Home students: £4,786 for the first year Overseas students: £22,632 for the first year
The fee is likely to rise over subsequent years of the programme. The School charges home research students in line with the level of fee that the Research Councils recommend. The fees for overseas students are likely to rise in line with the assumed percentage increase in pay costs (ie, 4 per cent per annum).
The Table of Fees shows the latest tuition amounts for all programmes offered by the School.
The amount of tuition fees you will need to pay, and any financial support you are eligible for, will depend on whether you are classified as a home or overseas student, otherwise known as your fee status. LSE assesses your fee status based on guidelines provided by the Department of Education.
Further information about fee status classification.
The School recognises that the cost of living in London may be higher than in your home town or country, and we provide generous scholarships each year to home and overseas students.
This programme is eligible for LSE PhD Studentships , and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) funding . Selection for the PhD Studentships and ESRC funding is based on receipt of an application for a place – including all ancillary documents, before the funding deadline.

The rotation of practicum assignments will include one-to-one training and collaboration that provides you better understanding of the research process, e.g.;
Research students are also invited to attend their Faculty group seminars and workshops.
Study in the first year includes a doctoral seminar in Organisational Behaviour and training in quantitative and qualitative methods. You will choose either a course in Organisational Behaviour, Social Psychology, or another subject area in agreement with your supervisor.
All first year doctoral students in the Department of Management will take the seminar course on A Social Sciences Perspective of Academic Research in Management.
Courses include:
Research in Organisational Behaviour Seminar I
The Seminar introduces you established research in micro- and macro-level Organisational Behaviour, progressing through units of analysis from psychology research to organisational theory. Focused on a foundational understanding of established research in Organisational Behaviour you will be encouraged to design novel research that advances the field.
Organisational Behaviour or Social Psychology of Economic Life: Advanced Topics
You will select to take one of these two semi-core courses, or an equivalent in agreement with your supervisor.
Fundamentals of Social Science Research Design
This core course introduces a broad range of design options across quantitative and qualitative research, covering issues of data quality, analysis, reporting and reproducibility. The course is designed to equip you to implement and make arguments defending the methods you use in your PhD theses.
You may choose an alternative course depending on your previous research design training as more specialised options are available.
Quantitative Research Methods
You choose a course in quantitative methods or statistics depending on your previous quantitative methods training and research interests.
Qualitative Research Methods
This core course covers conceptual understandings of current academic debates regarding qualitative methods, and with practical skills to put those methods into practice. Where applicable you can replace this course with alternative advanced qualitative training.
A Social Sciences Perspective of Academic Research in Management
Along with all MRes/PhD and MPhil/PhD students from across the Department of Management Research programmes you will participate in a seminar on the nature of scientific enquiry in the Social Sciences. The seminar series is led by members of the Faculty across the Department and provides an interdisciplinary collaborative perspective and the opportunity for students to develop academic presentation skills.
In the second year, you will continue to participate in Research Practicums and the Organisational Behaviour Seminar. You will take two elective courses in Organisational Theory, Social Organisation. Marketing or additional methods depending on your training and intellectual requirements and preferences. You will write a research paper in your field of interest which will form an important element in your upgrade to PhD.
Courses include:
Research in Organisation Behaviour Seminar II (suspended for 2024/25)
Two Elective Courses in areas of research interest or additional methods training
Research Paper in Management (MRes PhD Programmes)
Upon successfully completing the MRes and progressing to the PhD, you will work on your research and write your PhD thesis.
Throughout the 3-5 years there are regular reviews on your research progress and in the final year you prepare a detailed plan of work for the successful submission of your thesis. Throughout your PhD you will be expected to show the continued development of research ideas for publication, participation in relevant training courses and career development activities.
For the most up-to-date list of courses please visit the relevant School Calendar page.
You must note, however, that while care has been taken to ensure that this information is up to date and correct, a change of circumstances since publication may cause the School to change, suspend or withdraw a course or programme of study, or change the fees that apply to it. The School will always notify the affected parties as early as practicably possible and propose any viable and relevant alternative options. Note that the School will neither be liable for information that after publication becomes inaccurate or irrelevant, nor for changing, suspending or withdrawing a course or programme of study due to events outside of its control, which includes but is not limited to a lack of demand for a course or programme of study, industrial action, fire, flood or other environmental or physical damage to premises.
You must also note that places are limited on some courses and/or subject to specific entry requirements. The School cannot therefore guarantee you a place. Please note that changes to programmes and courses can sometimes occur after you have accepted your offer of a place. These changes are normally made in light of developments in the discipline or path-breaking research, or on the basis of student feedback. Changes can take the form of altered course content, teaching formats or assessment modes. Any such changes are intended to enhance the student learning experience. You should visit the School’s Calendar , or contact the relevant academic department, for information on the availability and/or content of courses and programmes of study. Certain substantive changes will be listed on the updated graduate course and programme information page.
Supervision.
You do not need to have identified a supervisor prior to application. During your MRes you will be supervised by the PhD Director of the Organisational Behaviour programme.
During the first two years of the programme, you will participate in Research Practicums, working in collaboration with different faculty mentors. Each research practicum will enable you to participate in research activities, understand Faculty research interests, and develop your own research skills. Your PhD supervisor will be appointed when you upgrade to PhD.
You will need to meet certain criteria to progress to each subsequent year of the programme, such as achieving certain grades in your coursework and engaging in all aspects of the programme.
Your final award will be determined by the completion of an original research thesis and a viva oral examination.

Otho mantegazza, kenji maghoma, june 24th, 2024, africans pay the price of visa denials to europe.
0 comments | 3 shares
Estimated reading time: 5 minutes
Migration is yet again at the centre of electoral politics in Europe and beyond. In the UK, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak invested a large amount of political capital in the possibility of at least one plane leaving for Rwanda to deport illegal immigrants before the elections in early July. His failure to deliver is now Nigel Farage’s best bet to win over a significant number of votes from the Conservatives. In France, Marie Le Pen is resurfacing the idea of “ national preference ” in jobs and housing, and the suspension of legal immigration from non-European countries. While in the US, Donald Trump talks about mass deportations and ending birthright citizenship for the children of ‘illegal’ immigrants. Despite these proposals being judged unjust, unrealistic and way too expensive, they continue to dominate the political debate.
Against this background, the recent ‘small’ increase in application fees for business and tourist visas to Europe hardly made the news. In June 2024, Schengen short-term visas increased from €80 to €90 for adults, and in October 2023 the UK fees went from £100 to £115.
These costs were high even before the increases, with disproportionate effects on applicants from low and middle-income countries, especially in Africa.
The visa application fees are non-refundable, no matter the outcome. Recently released data from 2023 show that rejection rates of short-term visitor visas to Europe (Fig 1) continue to be disproportionately high for low and middle-income countries – as in 2022, the poorer the country, the higher the rejection rates. African countries are disproportionately affected, with rejection rates as high as 40-50 per cent for countries like Ghana, Senegal and Nigeria.
Visas sanctions are also increasingly deployed as diplomatic weapons by EU member states when they judge that a country of origin has ‘low rates’ of migrants’ returns. Ethiopia and The Gambia have recently been subject to restrictions on visitor visa numbers for this exact reason.
In 2023, the cost of short-term visa rejections to the Schengen zone was £110M. This was £89M in 2022 and could potentially rise to £127m in 2024 because of the increase in fees. The cost paid by Africans for unattained visas in 2023 was £46M.
The picture is not much different in the UK. In 2023, the total cost of rejected visa applications was £44 million. Nigerians spent £5.8 million, Algerians £3.6 million and Ghanaians £1.8 million all with no return.
These rejected visa costs can be considered ‘ reverse remittances ’ . Money is flowing from poor to rich countries. These costs rarely feature in debates over aid or trade where the emphasis is always on money heading in the other direction. As with many aspects of the traditional narratives on global relations, this has to change to represent the missed opportunities for low and middle-income countries that arise from limiting the movement of people across borders.
These ‘reverse remittances’ are just the tip of an iceberg of the costs incurred by those whose visas are denied. In most cases, applicants pay more than the basic application fee, with private agencies involved in processing visa applications and brokers providing additional services along the way. The costs of not being able to travel for business and leisure also result in significant losses for all those involved: from non-refundable flights to not being able to attend an academic conference, art fair, or concert you were booked for.
Research and data, however important, will never tell the full story, or be enough to deliver change. It is people and their lived experiences which will help make a difference. The sheer cost of visa inequality has been widely featured in the news in some of the most affected countries, such as Nigeria . But the outrage exceeds the costs. It is a story of discriminatory and often humiliating practices, where the sheer lack of reciprocity in the way humans are treated across borders is rightly seen as unjustifiable by all those affected.
Passport privilege must stop – yet this will take a long time. Fixing the deeply unequal and dysfunctional short-term visa system to allow people to travel for business and leisure is a good way to start.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A new cohort of seasoned entrepreneurs is set to advance their businesses and significantly contribute to the local economy after completing the Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership (CEL) Core program in the University at Buffalo School of Management.
Twenty-seven graduates were celebrated at a joint ceremony with another CEL class, the M&T Bank Emerging Entrepreneurs program, on June 13 at the UB Center for the Arts on the university’s North Campus.
Jacob Strauss, associate partner at StraussGroup, was honored with the C. Taylor Kew Entrepreneurial Excellence Award, which recognizes graduates for exemplifying the leadership and community service principles for which the late Kew stood. An energetic advocate for the CEL, Kew created and operated several companies and donated his time to several civic organizations before his tragic death in a seaplane crash in 1992. Strauss, in addition to his entrepreneurial achievements, actively participates in several charitable organizations in Western New York, including serving on the foundation board of the Buffalo Zoo and the Future of Roswell Society.
The new Core graduates completed a peer-based, mentor-driven program to help grow, refocus or better manage their businesses. Throughout the ten-month course, they conducted comprehensive analyses of their businesses and honed skills in critical areas such as strategic planning, financial management, employee relations and marketing.
The 2024 CEL Core graduates and their companies are:
Applications are now open for the next CEL Core program, beginning this fall. Individuals interested in learning more about the curriculum and speaking candidly with Core alumni can register for an upcoming open house, to be held at 5 p.m. on July 25 at Tappo on Ellicott Street in Buffalo.
To register for an open house or apply to the program, contact the CEL at 716-885-5715 or [email protected] .
Established in 1987, the CEL provides participants with individualized and interactive education in entrepreneurship. More than 1,500 CEL alumni employ more than 23,000 Western New Yorkers, and their businesses are worth more than $2.3 billion to the local economy.
