The MPhil in Innovation, Strategy & Organisation (ISO) is an integral part of the route to a PhD via both the Strategic Management pathway and the Organisational Theory & Information Systems pathway.
The ISO masters programme has been designed for students wishing to build substantive and methodological knowledge in the areas of innovation, strategy and organisation and its application to the interdisciplinary study of organisations. It is oriented to those wishing to prepare for a career in academic research. You can choose either a qualitative or a quantitative stream to pursue research in the ISO domain.
There are a number of scholarships available to MPhil ISO students, ranging from ESRC scholarships, University of Cambridge and College scholarships, to corporate research funding. Find out more
Continuation to the PhD is regulated through a PhD admissions process during the MPhil year, which includes an interview, and is subject to your performance on the MPhil programme.
