We are internationally renowned for our cutting edge research on Logistics.

Our Logistics Research Centre (LRC) has a world class reputation and is well networked with industry and government both in the UK and internationally. In recent years LRC has undertaken projects on home delivery operations, performance measurement in the road freight sector, the development of coastal roll on-roll off (ro-ro) services for trucks, the process of freight traffic growth, future logistical trends in Europe and the distribution systems of UK supermarket chains. It has been a full partner in several major EU projects and conducted studies for government departments, the Institute of Logistics and Transport and several trade bodies.

Programme duration

Normally 3 years

Entry requirements

• Fees and funding

Much of our research is undertaken within the broad areas below:

• Relationship between logistics / supply chain trends and freight transport
• Environmental sustainability of logistics operations

The research would examine how digitalisation affects SCM value creation.

• Nigel Caldwell

Logistics and Supply Chain Research Project 3

Shipping is worth $375billion and carries 90% of world trade.

Programme Overview

Doctoral candidates pursue original research with the goal of making a significant contribution to knowledge in, and understanding of, their chosen field. As a postgraduate researcher you can become an integral part of our research community, working with leading academics whose research has gone on to impact business, policy, and society on an international scale.

There is an emphasis on your own independent critical investigation, supervised by an experienced team of academics. You can benefit from an active research community in the School, and research groups with which to align your study.

As a research student, you will have access to a structured programme of training supported by our Doctoral School. This aims to assist you in the development of the practical and critical skills which are necessary for this programme and are transferable to your career. There may be opportunities to participate in undergraduate teaching following relevant training.

Key Features

Conduct independent, original, and academically significant research

Benefit from training courses to develop key research skills

Supervision and support from expert academic staff

Present at talks and seminars to showcase your work

Enrol in February or October each year

How You Study

Normally, PhD students register for an MPhil, and within 12 months (24 months for part-time study) they are expected to transfer to the PhD programme. This transfer requires the production of a detailed research proposal, which the candidate will be expected to defend at a transfer viva. The formal transfer is subject to approval by the University's Research Committees

Students are assigned a supervision team consisting of a Director of Studies (first supervisor) and usually one second supervisor. Students are expected to work independently on their research projects under the advice and direction of the supervision team.

Due to the nature of postgraduate research programmes, the vast majority of your time will be spent in independent study and research. You will have meetings with your academic supervisors, however the regularity of these will vary depending on your own individual requirements, subject area, staff availability, and the stage of your programme.

Research Groups and Topics

The key to success on a postgraduate research programme is to find a research topic that you are passionate about and identify a supervisory team that has expertise in this area. We strongly recommend that you take a look at the research groups within Lincoln International Business School and individual staff research interests so you can see how your proposed research aligns with our research. Research is organised primarily around six research groups which draw together staff from across disciplinary boundaries within the School.

Community Organisation Research Group

Researching community organisation, self-organisation, and development within Third Sector organisations, multi-agency networks, and community groups.

Lincoln Economics, Accountancy, and Finance Research Group

Facilitating the creation and diffusion of policy-relevant research and the development of research skills in the University, the local community, and wider society.

Marketing Research Group

Bringing together both early-career and well-established researchers who are contributing to a wide range of marketing-related studies.

Regional Innovation and Enterprise Research Group

Delivering locally, nationally, and internationally funded projects aimed at investigating the role of innovation and entrepreneurship in the developments of regions.

Responsible Management Research Group

Developing new knowledge in ways that improve the understanding of responsible management as a concept and as practice in multiple contexts.

Visitor Economy Research Group

The Visitor Economy Research Group brings together research focused on the areas of tourism, mobilities, hospitality, heritage, events, and leisure.

How you are assessed

Students are required to demonstrate adequate and appropriate progress usually on an annual basis. A PhD is awarded based on the quality of your thesis and your ability in an oral examination (viva voce) to present and successfully defend your chosen research topic to a group of academics. You are also expected to demonstrate how your research findings have contributed to knowledge or developed existing theory or understanding.

Writing a Research Proposal

When applying for the MPhil/PhD programme, you will need to write a research proposal as part of your application. This sets out the broad topic you wish to research; the reasons for the research; what you hope to achieve; how you are going to conduct the research; and the expected results in relation to knowledge and understanding in the subject. The research proposal will be used to assess both the academic potential of your proposed research and our ability to supervise and support you in your proposed area of study.

How to Write Your Research Proposal
