Sustainable Environmental Development with Management Studies MSc: Research areas

Many of our staff in the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Computing are research active. This ensures that they are in touch with the latest thinking and bring best practice to your studies.

Research in the School of Geography, Geology and Environment at Kingston forms part of the Centre for Earth and Environmental Science Research (CEESR). Research falls into three different groups:

• Geodynamics and Crustal Processes – including tectonics, basin evolution and applications of palaeomagnetism to global geodynamics;
• Environmental Change – including remote sensing of land cover change in tropical and temperate ecosystems and human impacts on watercourses and soils in Britain; and
• Agriculture, Environment and People – including the human, environmental and policy dynamics of rural systems.

You may be able to publish any research you undertake on the Kingston University Research and Innovation Reports (KURIR) website. This site gives anyone associated with Kingston University the opportunity to publish articles, which will be permanently available to the academic community.

Research in the School of Business also feeds into your management studies modules. Research groups include:

• International Business Policy – focusing on transition problems, global business strategy and inter-cultural issues;
• The Small Business Research Centre – taking a rigorous qualitative and quantitative methodological approach to investigating small firms and entrepreneurship; and
• The Centre for Research in Employment, Skills and Society (CRESS) – focusing on the theory and practice of managing work and organisations from the perspective of both employee and employer.
