Program details
Overview
The PhD in Management at Memorial University's Faculty of Business Administration offers three areas of specialization: general management, covering topics such as entrepreneurship, finance, international business, marketing, and strategy; operations and information management, covering areas such as big data, supply chains, and human-computer interaction; and organizational behaviour and human resources management, covering workplace effectiveness and the social dimensions of work. The program combines roughly two years of coursework with an independent research project and original dissertation research conducted under faculty supervision, with students working alongside researchers engaged in multidisciplinary work across a range of methods and settings. It suits holders of a relevant master's degree who want to pursue original research training leading toward an academic or industry research and teaching career, and is oriented toward preparing graduates to contribute new theory and practice within their chosen area of business scholarship.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Memorial's PhD in Management, offered through the Faculty of Business Administration, normally requires a master's degree from a university of recognized standing in an appropriate area of study. Applicants must submit a Graduate Management Admissions Test score of at least 600 (555 on the GMAT Focus Edition) or a Graduate Record Examinations score of at least 310, a clear statement of research interest identifying at least one faculty member whose expertise matches it, and two letters of appraisal, at least one addressing the applicant's academic potential as a PhD student. Applicants without a four-year degree from an English-medium institution must present a TOEFL iBT score of 92-93 or higher (Home Edition not accepted) or an IELTS Academic score of 7 or higher.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Memorial University's undergraduate application system opens one year ahead of each semester for the 2027 cycle: for Fall 2027 entry the portal opens 10 September 2026, the priority deadline (also the early-entrance-scholarship deadline) is 1 March 2027, the document deadline is 20 August 2027, and applications finally close 9 September 2027; Winter 2027 entry has a priority deadline of 1 October 2026 and closes 6 January 2027; Spring 2027 entry closes 11 May 2027 with a priority date of 1 February 2027. International applicants use the same direct application to Memorial and are only advised to apply at least 12 weeks before their intended semester starts; no fixed international closing date is published. Late domestic applications are still considered as time, resources and space permit, so admission is effectively rolling past the priority date up to the final close. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
