Visiting doctoral students

Information on applications and fees for visiting doctoral students.

To visit Alliance Manchester Business School (AMBS) as a visiting student, please follow these steps:

• Identify and contact an AMBS academic you wish to work with and secure their agreement to supervise you. Use the online academic staff directory for information. Note: honorary staff do not supervise visiting students.
• Once agreement is in place, the proposed supervisor must complete the HUMS Doctoral Academy Visiting PGR Approval Form before the visit begins.
• The visiting student must then complete the online application form and submit any required documents as instructed by the Admissions Team.

Note: If your visit exceeds two months, IELTS or equivalent English language requirements apply unless the applicant has studied in the UK within the last five years or holds a degree from an approved English-speaking country.
