May 23rd, 2024, why i chose lse for a mid-career phd.

Estimated reading time: 8 minutes

Anna Czaplewska-Jaffery is a PhD student in Organisational Behaviour in the Department of Management. Prior to LSE, Anna had a career as a Business Psychologist and Management Consultant spanning over a decade. In this blog, she discusses her experiences of studying a PhD at LSE and undertaking a PhD mid-career.

I have always known that I wanted to do a PhD one day, but I wanted to ensure I had hands-on experience, and an in-depth understanding of the challenges businesses are facing before deciding on the topic that I was ready to commit to.

Therefore, after completing my Masters in Organisational Psychology, I worked as a Business Psychologist and a Management Consultant, which solidified my interest in cross-cultural leadership and gender equality. The coaching and corporate training I undertook in the space of Leadership Development and Emotional Intelligence further informed my research topic, whilst the connections I built across years of consulting provided some truly wonderful opportunities for research collaboration and data collection.

However, the decision to do my PhD in the middle of a successful career was not one I made lightly.

At first, I was anxious that returning to academia would put a pause on what I had been building all these years; but where there’s a will, there’s always a way, and I managed to continue working alongside my first year of the PhD.

It wasn’t easy going back to studying after so many years, especially as a first-time mum, but I was lucky to have very supportive team both at work and at LSE. That first year also provided a smoother transition from a practitioner to a researcher and having received the opportunity to teach at LSE, I was then able to take a plunge into academia. I have managed, however, to keep one foot in the business world, as a freelance consultant and coach.

Why LSE’s Department of Management?

You often hear about how slow things can move in academia. Prior to joining LSE, I heard from friends who teach that the administrative and political aspects of academic work can really distract one from their research focus, but I haven’t found any traces of that at LSE.

LSE is a truly amazing place to be.

The expertise of the Professors at the Department of Management is impressive, and every interaction leaves you confident that you are working with truly accomplished scholars. There is a wonderful depth and breadth of expertise across a variety of topics and research methods, which allows you to not only become an expert on your own field but a well-rounded Management scholar in general.

I am also lucky to have the most incredible cohort of fellow PhD students, who I know I can count on. We have a very impressive PhD office in the beautiful Marshall Building, providing an inspiring setting to work in.

There is a great representation of various cultural backgrounds in our group (important for me given my cross-cultural research interests) and, I have been very fortunate to work with many incredibly talented female professors (in fact, in both the classes that I teach, as well as in my PhD research, I work in female-only teams which has been a very refreshing and empowering experience).

The department grants us a lot of freedom to pursue our research interests and there is a strong culture of mutual respect and support.

Members of our faculty are very accessible and not only willing to always help but appear genuinely interested in your work and try their best to help to shape your research to a level that deserves a publication in a top tier journal.

What does life look like post-PhD?

I hope my PhD helps me to become an expert in cross-cultural management and provides me with opportunities to conduct research that supports leaders, and especially female leaders, in the workplace. I am passionate about conducting research that addresses organisational challenges, particularly those related to gender equality and cross-cultural understanding, and I hope to use my expertise to provide organisations with evidence-based solutions.

I feel at home in academia and aim to continue this journey after my PhD, whilst also allowing space for the Organisational Psychologist I am at heart. To combine my research expertise with the practitioner experience, I have launched my own business, called InPsy Consulting , which focuses on leadership development, coaching for individuals working in international settings, and supporting gender equality in the workplace.

In the next few years, I would like to see myself on the way to becoming a tenured professor and growing my business as a way of sharing my practical experience and providing my clients with evidence-based solutions informed by the latest research.

Teaching and learning in 2024

Our intention for the 2024/25 academic year is to teach all modules in person. As such, we expect all students to attend each module in person. Should COVID-19, or any other unforeseen circumstance, force us to change this, we will in the first instance endeavour to deliver to a hybrid schedule, whereby teaching is delivered in-person and online simultaneously. If the delivery of a hybrid schedule is impracticable in the circumstances, some modules may be taught online. It may also be the case that circumstances prevent us delivering an overseas module either in the advertised way or at the advertised location. Please note, we will neither consider a partial or full refund of tuition fees, which we have set regardless of how or where we deliver a module. We will notify our offer holders and current students of any changes, if applicable as soon as it is reasonably practicable for us to do so.

Make sure a loan is right for you

If you’re considering taking out a loan to fund your studies, make sure you think about this decision carefully and choose an option with repayment terms which will be affordable and reasonable for you after you graduate.

Hardship funding

The EGMiM programme has access to a limited Hardship Fund for use in exceptional circumstances, which is available only to currently registered students. Any hardship funding will be restricted to a very limited amount per academic year, with a strict application process and selection criteria based on emergency circumstances. This should therefore not be relied upon as a guaranteed source of additional funding. 

Programme structure and courses

Modular format for working professionals.

The programme is designed for full-time working professionals, so our students don’t need to take a break from their career in order to study.

Teaching is conducted in seven short (one to two week) intensive classroom modules, requiring a maximum of nine weeks out of the office over the 17-month programme duration. The modules draw direct practical learning from contrasting business cultures across the world, located in London, and 2 overseas locations.

In between modules, students continue to work full-time in their home location, with access to a learning technology platform which will complement the in-class sessions and maximise intersession communication. The modules are designed to be directly applicable to students’ work, meaning that learning from the classroom can be brought back to make valuable developments and innovations in the workplace from day one.

Students can live and work anywhere in the world while participating in the programme, and typically we welcome a diverse mix of nationalities to each yearly cohort.

PLEASE NOTE: module dates are subject to change.

Curriculum overview

The programme takes a fresh approach to the traditional MBA curriculum, because we believe that issues and problems in the real world are not neatly divided into the traditional topics studied in the classroom. Your courses will cover the fundamentals of business management and leadership, and our unique teaching style which will challenge the way you think about people, teams, organisations and the wider business world. Rather than a traditional practice-focused approach, we take a deeper exploration into the root causes of business challenges, and examine the global architecture in which organisations operate. This will develop your intellectual decision-making skills, and develop your talent as an innovative and adaptable global leader.

Core courses

All students will undertake a series of core courses covering the essential pillars of management and leadership in the global business environment. Students will complete the programme with a dissertation or Capstone project, bringing together learning from all courses and providing an opportunity to specialise in your area of interest, solve a real challenge you are facing in the workplace, or create a business plan to launch your own venture.

Managerial Economics

This course aims to equip you with a range of tools to analyse the behaviour of firms and consumers in markets. It will introduce you to basic microeconomic concepts and show how a deeper understanding of how markets work can lead to making better business decisions. You will also learn how to use these tools in practice, through case-based class discussion and assessed work, enabling you to instantly apply your learning back in the work place.

Foundations of Management

A uniquely integrated course which provides an overview of the development of key management disciplines. Students will develop a greater understanding of the disciplinary anchors in sociology, psychology and economics as they relate to modern management theory and practice.

Financial Management

The aim of the course is to provide a comprehensive overview of firms' financial decision making. The course is designed to provide an applied and practical approach to finance, enabling the students to address topical issues that modern corporations face. In particular, the course builds on concepts in business strategy, valuation techniques, and capital structure theories, and applies those tools in a systematic and rigorous way to real-life financial management problems. Topics such as mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings will also be covered. 

Organisational Behaviour and Leadership  

Understanding individuals, teams and organisation is fundamental in any management role. This course discusses psychological theories and considers their meaning for managers. The course also brings together theory and practice by using conversations, group exercises, presentations, and course work to apply the course material to business problems and embed learning. By the end of the course, you should be able to critically evaluate some of the main theories of organisational behaviour and apply those theories to issues in your organisations. In addition, we reflect upon leadership style and skills. Drawing on relevant theories, we examine your personal leadership style and its implications for working with others. We discuss the leadership skills that are critical to effectiveness, and consider how to apply these skills to build positive organisational environments. You will be asked to complete two in-depth evaluations to prepare for these session. Profiles will be used to guide your leadership development. An optional one-to-one meeting to discuss your leadership is included in the schedule.

Strategy, Organisation and Innovation

This course investigates central questions in strategic management, including the drivers of differences in profitability across (for-profit) firms and the frameworks with which to analyse them, Power Nodes and scenario planning to address the complexities of strategy and competition, and the challenges of implementing a new corporate strategy. 

Marketing Strategy

The course covers the main theories and concepts in marketing management for students with no prior knowledge of the subject. Students will have the opportunity to apply the theories in a practical setting, as the course will be scheduled partly during one of the overseas modules and will include visits to companies and guest speakers.

International Business Strategy and Emerging Markets

This is a course in international business and strategy. Multinational firms have been an increasingly significant aspect of the corporate environment in developed countries since the 1960s, and are responsible for a high proportion of global output, exports and investment, as well as the bulk of foreign direct investment. In the past few decades their activities have been increasingly focused to developing economies, including China and India, and transition economies such as Russia, Brazil and Argentina. This course will analyse the emergence of firms which operate on a global scale and their current and likely future interactions with emerging markets. It will include the recent development of large scale global business players from the emerging economies. You will focus on how the institutional characteristics of emerging markets affect the choices and behaviour of multinational firms, both now and going forward. Teaching methods will combine lectures with in depth case analysis, company visits and corporate speakers.

Dissertation/Capstone Project

The dissertation/capstone is a student-led independent study project that comprises a half credit on the overall degree. Students can choose to engage in an academic dissertation or a capstone project. Both options require the student to produce a 6,000-word report that demonstrates familiarity with relevant literature and analyses original data collected by the student. The dissertation is grounded in academic concepts whereas the capstone project presents a new business idea. Through this project, students demonstrate skills in critical thinking and writing, conducting original research, and drawing conclusions from that research. The focus of the project can be any area in which the student would like to develop their expertise, or it can be an area that would benefit the student’s organisation. Previous topics have included, for example, the barriers to developing local talent in top leadership jobs, the private equity industry in Azerbaijan, women and leadership in the UAE, public sector employee motivation, creativity and commitment in sales organisations.

Non-assessed elements

Foundations of Management 2: Financial Control and Governance

This course is concerned with examining the relationship between governance and control in organisations. A strong emphasis is placed on the techniques used in assigning values to input into and outcomes of organisational processes. Amongst other issues, we will examine how firms’ financial condition is represented to external parties, how values are assigned to determine the magnitude of costs and how performance is measured. Each session will be concerned with investigating real life debates relating to the representation of issues relating to governance and the exercise of control. In common with Foundations 1, we will utilise the different disciplines informing management, that is, primarily economics, psychology and sociology to investigate the debate relating to the use of these techniques and to place these techniques in their historical and organisational context. Through this combination of technical, theoretical and historical perspectives we will systematically examine the complex relationship between governance and control in organisations. Each session will include a lecture introducing the topic and a case providing participants the opportunity to apply concepts relating to the topic. 

For the most up-to-date programme regulations, 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.

Teaching and assessment

Courses will be assessed through a variety of methods including essays, presentations, take-home exams and group work that help students understand how to put into practice the various components of effective management. There will also be a final dissertation or capstone project based on a topic selected by the student.

You can view indicative details for teaching and assessment methods and contact hours for each course in the relevant  course guide .

Academic support

There are many opportunities to extend your learning outside the classroom and complement your academic studies at LSE.  LSE LIFE  is the School’s centre for academic, personal and professional development. Some of the services on offer include: guidance and hands-on practice of the key skills you will need to do well at LSE: effective reading, academic writing and critical thinking; workshops related to how to adapt to new or difficult situations, including development of skills for leadership, study/work/life balance and preparing for the world of work; and advice and practice on working in study groups and on cross-cultural communication and teamwork.

LSE is committed to enabling all students to achieve their full potential and the School’s  Disability and Wellbeing Service  provides a free, confidential service to all LSE students and is a first point of contact for all disabled students.

International modules

In today’s globalised world, we believe successful managers and leaders are those who can adapt to the diverse variety of international business cultures and institutional structures across the world. The EGMiM programme explores management and leadership through a global lens, drawing real-world practical learning from three international module locations in London, and two overseas visits. This experience is designed to highlight topical international business issues and give an insight into global diversity in management practice.

During each of the international modules, you will gain direct experience of the local business culture. Alongside classroom learning, we incorporate visits to local and multinational companies, talks from prominent international industry experts based in the module locations, and elite networking opportunities with LSE’s local alumni chapters. 

Five modules will take place at LSE’s cosmopolitan campus here in the heart of London, where you will join the School’s prestigious tradition of academic debate and our thriving student community. There is always a huge range of activities and events to choose from while you are here, including our high profile  public lecture and events series , as well as a taste of London as a global centre for culture, entertainment, history, industry and government.

You will have full access to LSE’s facilities including the famous  LSE Library  and the  LSE Careers Service , and opportunities to broaden your professional and personal network with other LSE Executive Master’s students.

Overseas Modules

Two modules take place in overseas locations; previous trips have included Bangalore (India), Beijing (China), Istanbul (Turkey), Singapore and Cape Town (South Africa). Locations are selected based on the academic content of two of our core courses - the first trip focuses on marketing and entrepreneurship and the second on International Business Strategy and Emerging Markets.  The trips are designed to complement each other to give a wide ranging view of global business. 

The Marketing trip provides an opportunity for students to experience first-hand how both large established for-profit firms and start ups adapt when working in an emerging, and rapidly changing environment.  The location of this trip is selected to best showcase this and how emerging economies can present some of the biggest opportunities and challenges with the objective of the module being to expose students to some of these. 

The second trip focuses on international business strategy and emerging markets.  This trip is in the field of international business strategy, and will outline the main theories of multinational internationalisation, the resource-based view and new institutional economics. It will also provide detailed analysis of case studies of company experience in expanding their operations internationally. There will be a particular focus on models and cases of companies which operate in emerging markets. Such economies bring a special character to the internationalization process because emerging markets have greater interplay between politics and business, weaker institutions and faster growing markets.

During both modules, students will hear from speakers from resident universities to gain insight into the local landscape.  They will also hear from, and visit, an eclectic mix of individuals and organisations from both national and multinational companies, in diverse sectors of the economy, to get a real understanding of the opportunities, challenges and issues faced in doing business in varying markets.  Both trips will also provide an opportunity to connect with alumni from LSE, broadening your connections and networks. 

PLEASE NOTE: The locations of the two international modules are subject to change as we are constantly adapting and improving the programme in response to global business trends. They are also continually being monitored in light of the Coronavirus situation and changes may be made if necessary.

Meet the PhD Academy Director

Bingchun Meng

Director, PhD Academy and LSE ESRC Doctoral Training Centre

I am a Professor in the Department of Media and Communications at LSE, where I also co-direct the LSE-Fudan Global Public Policy Research Centre. My research interests include political economy of media industries, communication governance, gender and the media, and comparative media studies. I am mainly concerned with how institutional forces shape media and communication, and how communicative activities and digital technologies are implicated in the formation of culture, identity and political engagement. 

Focusing on China as my main empirical site, I aim to advance related academic debates by historicising and retheorising state-market and state-society relations in non-liberal contexts through the lens of media and communication.  

At the LSE, I have supervised many Media and Communication PhD students; this is the aspect of my academic job that I enjoy the best, because that is how I learn the most.

Centrica, Equinor and SSE Thermal launch new Humber Hydrogen Hub projects in Parliament

T:  01784 843000

E:  [email protected]

Leading energy companies Equinor, Centrica and SSE Thermal have launched plans for a collaboration of multiple low carbon hydrogen projects on the north bank of the Humber which also link to wider plans within the region. 

The plans, which include the transformation of the Easington gas terminal, were launched yesterday in the Houses of Parliament to an audience of MPs, civil servants, industry bodies and regional stakeholders. Lord Callanan, the Energy Minister responsible for Hydrogen and Carbon Capture policy, spoke at the event alongside Beverley & Holderness MP Graham Stuart and representatives from the Equinor, Centrica Energy Storage and SSE Thermal.

H2H Easington includes proposals by Equinor and Centrica to deliver a multi-stage green and blue hydrogen production facility which will scale up over time as a hydrogen economy develops. Since a co-operation agreement was signed between the two companies in 2022, detailed engineering studies have assessed projects which could produce up to 1.2GW of blue hydrogen production and up to 1GW of green hydrogen at Easington with initial projects commissioned by the end of the decade then expansion through the 2030s.

To unlock these ambitions, proposals for a green hydrogen electrolyser have been submitted to Government as part of the second Hydrogen Allocation Round process. If successful, this initial electrolytic hydrogen system would be operational by early 2029 and would fuel switch off-takers within the Easington terminal, displacing current natural gas demand and significantly reducing the site’s CO2 footprint by 100,000 tonnes per year. An immediate next step would include hydrogen for Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), which is key to facilitating the energy transition in the aviation sector.

Such a transition would also safeguard many existing jobs within the historic gas terminal whilst creating new jobs and supply chain opportunities for the future. It is estimated that the 35-year economic impact of the green hydrogen proposals at Easington, including construction, operation and decommissioning of the facility, will be in the region of £1.5bn of gross value added, supporting thousands of jobs in the region.

In addition to the above, the partnership will also explore a dedicated hydrogen pipeline that would link H2H Easington to Equinor’s proposed H2H Saltend hydrogen production facility at Saltend Chemicals Park, and to Equinor and SSE Thermal’s proposed hydrogen storage facility at Aldbrough on the East Yorkshire Coast. Collectively, these projects form the Humber Hydrogen Hub.

Equinor and SSE Thermal are currently consulting on the proposals for hydrogen storage at the existing gas storage site near Aldbrough . The use of the geologically unique underground salt caverns for storage helps to balance the fluctuating supply and demand of a future hydrogen economy whilst improving energy security.

The 45km hydrogen pipeline proposals also include a crossing of the River Humber to provide connectivity between north and south banks, whilst there is also potential for connection to the ‘Project Union’ gas network to expand across the wider Humber region.

Decision makers from government departments including Energy Security & Net Zero, Business & Trade and Transport, joined the Government’s ‘Hydrogen Champion’, UK Research & Innovation and the Carbon Capture & Storage Association to listen to the new proposals. Levelling Up Minister Jacob Young MP, who is also a proactive advocate of hydrogen, was in attendance. The Humber region was represented by MPs Graham Stuart and Martin Vickers, as well as representatives from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Humber Chamber of Commerce and the Yorkshire & Humber CBI.

Graham Stuart MP, Member of Parliament for Beverley and Holderness said:

“This is an exciting collection of projects which can help to deliver on the UK’s net zero goals and hydrogen targets whilst also supporting the Government’s levelling up agenda. I’m particularly proud to have such key strategic energy sites within my constituency that are attracting investment from large companies, creating new jobs for local people and supply chain opportunities for local businesses. It shows that East Yorkshire is an internationally renowned location for low carbon technologies, and this can only help to boost prosperity across the region.”  

Dan Sadler, Director for Hydrogen at Equinor’s UK Low Carbon Solutions, said:

“The proposals we’ve set out today demonstrate the commitment to the decarbonisation of the Humber by three of the largest players in UK energy, each with a track record of delivering ambitious schemes that reflect the changing demands of our economy. This is a unique opportunity to link these key sites in the Humber, pairing hydrogen production with users and storage sites to create the foundational requirements for an expanding hydrogen economy throughout the 2030s and 40s. It will help to reduce emissions whilst also stimulating economic growth.”

Martin Scargill, Managing Director of Centrica Energy Storage, said:

“These projects will bring huge benefits to the Humber as we move forward to net zero. Working together, Centrica, Equinor and SSE Thermal will deliver this innovative, world leading, regional hydrogen system, that in time could see Rough connected to provide the UK with large scale, clean energy storage. We know that the UK will need to explore all possible options to meet its net zero target and these projects will support the country’s decarbonisation plans while creating jobs and certainty for the region’s industry in the future.” 

John Johnson, Director of Development at SSE Thermal, said:

“Hydrogen projects like the ones we’re bringing forward at Aldbrough can help to deliver a low-carbon future for the Humber. We know that all roads to net zero lead through the region and this collaboration aims to accelerate the deployment of hydrogen by linking multiple key sites and projects in support of the UK’s decarbonisation efforts. Ultimately, the Humber Hydrogen Hub can be a key enabler of a thriving hydrogen economy.”
