Your Future In Accounting
Mentorship and practice, application deadline.
The application deadline for the Accounting Doctoral Program is December 15.
If you are a practicing accountant, these topical areas will be familiar to you. However, we welcome students with backgrounds in Mathematics, Economics, Engineering, Finance, Psychology, or other disciplines to apply. We can remedy any lack of accounting knowledge through additional coursework. Most students enter our accounting doctoral program with some knowledge in these areas:
Financial accounting researchers are interested in the use of accounting information by investors, creditors, analysts, and other decision-makers. We are also interested in the preparation of accounting information by managers who may respond to economic incentives and use discretion to manage earnings. Finally, we are also interested in the regulation of accounting information by standard setters and other regulators who are evaluating the relevance and reliability of current and potential accounting information.
Auditing researchers are interested in questions of independence, governance, compliance, auditing processes, and biases. This research helps global standard-setters and regulators adopt standards and policies that protect the integrity of our accounting information.
Managerial accounting research topics include optimal employee compensation and governance, using information for efficiency management, motivating creativity, etc.
Taxation research covers economic incentives, transfer pricing, compliance with tax enforcement, multistate taxation, and numerous topics about accounting for income taxation, where tax rules overlap with financial reporting standards.
Academic leadership, research methodologies.
When you earn a doctorate, most of your time is spent developing deep expertise in research methods. Accounting researchers use three main approaches. In all cases, your doctoral studies will involve a firm grounding in statistics and typically a choice of either economics or psychology as an additional foundation.
Archival research involves the statistical analysis of historical data to examine relevant research questions based on economic theory for its predictions. Thus, archival research requires a strong background in statistics and economics, which we provide through rigorous coursework in the business school and the economics department.
Experimental or survey methods are commonly used to obtain data to conduct what is broadly known as behavioral research. Behavioral research relies on psychology for its theories. Because this research is interested in what people do and why they do it, it is often necessary to conduct controlled experiments or survey participants. Using experiment or survey methods, researchers in accounting and finance have provided compelling alternative explanations where economic theories fall short.
Analytical research uses quantitative mathematical models to explain and predict behavior. This research is grounded in game theory from economics. Students wanting to conduct analytical research should have even stronger mathematical backgrounds than other applicants. We will design a program of study that builds on those initial strengths with additional coursework in mathematics and economics.
Preparation and qualifications, career placement, the world needs you, career destinations.
The primary goal of the Texas McCombs PhD program is to prepare students for exceptional academic careers. Over the last five years, McCombs Accounting PhD alumni have excelled at top institutions globally.

WHU Germany’s #1 PhD program for management accounting for eighth year in a row in BYU’s PhD program rankings
The Marriott School of Business, part of Brigham Young University in Utah (USA), has once again issued its annual PhD Program Rankings . For the eighth year running, WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management has maintained its #1 position in Germany and currently sits at #4 among all European schools evaluated, standing tall alongside the Vienna University of Economics and Business, Maastricht University, and KU Leuven. “We are extremely proud of our former and current students,” declared Professor Utz Schäffer , Co-Director of the Institute of Management Accounting & Control (IMC) at WHU alongside Professor Marko Reimer and Professor Lukas Löhlein .
BYU’s ranking is based on the number of peer-reviewed articles published in 12 of the world’s most salient journals for accounting over a six-year post-graduation window. It is due to the hard work exhibited by the IMC’s former doctoral students that WHU has managed to maintain its high placement for nearly a decade. “These results show that our efforts are helping our doctoral students make substantial contributions to the field of research on an international level,” said Professor Reimer.
The school’s research-related activities and doctoral studies focused on the field of management accounting coalesce at the IMC, and students earning their doctorates there “have the chance to dive deeper into a broad range of relevant topics, including compensation, digitalization, machine learning, AI, and more,” noted Alisa Bach , one of the institute’s doctoral students. “We participate at the world’s best research conferences and colloquia, and we are able to make great use of WHU’s large network.”

Postgraduate research
Our thriving body of PhD students are currently researching: finance, market reactions to accounting, management accounting and control, judgment and decision-making in accounting and audit, corporate reporting and governance.
The Adam Smith Business School places a strong emphasis on the development of valuable transferable and personal development skills, such as finance-oriented computer programming, presentation and professional writing skills.
As a PhD student in Accounting & Finance, you will have opportunities to:
You may also have the opportunity to become a Graduate Teaching Assistant (GTA), delivering tutorials to first and second year undergraduate students and helping with assessment of undergraduate assignments and examinations. Teaching is payable at a University-wide hourly rate and it is anticipated that an active GTA, subject to suitability and availability, should be able to earn up to £1,500 per annum. GTAs undergo compulsory training. PhD researchers may have the opportunity to become GTAs from their second year. Vacant posts are advertised towards the end of semester 2.
Adam Smith Business School is triple accredited
Our PhD programmes are designed to satisfy a growing demand for rigorous and well-trained researchers in all aspects of accounting and finance. We offer:
Our programmes are an exciting blend of formal research training, high levels of interaction between faculty and students, and a rigorously developed and closely supervised thesis based on original and relevant research. Our PhD normally takes 3 years (full-time) to complete, although the maximum is 4 years.
In the first year, they will normally study a number of chosen courses in Accounting and Finance, which will develop their quantitative and qualitative research skills as well as their knowledge of accounting and finance research literature and methodologies. An appropriate programme of study is devised for each student in consultation with the director of the programme and the candidate’s supervisor. Students will also work with their supervisors to develop their PhD research proposal into a fully operational research plan. At the end of this period, the candidate presents a fully developed thesis proposal to the Thesis Committee. This committee is responsible for approving the student’s research proposal, over-seeing and guiding the student’s research progress.
Supervisors and students are required to complete a Progress Report in April/May of each academic year. All Progress Reports are reviewed by the PhD Convenor and by the Associate Dean of the College's Graduate School. A satisfactory progress report is a prerequisite for student registration in the following academic session.
Final assessment involves the submission of a thesis of between 70,000 and 100,000 words and an oral examination (viva voce).
Our research degree applicants will usually possess a good Master’s degree (or overseas equivalent), with a significant component in Accounting and Finance.
Your proposed research topic should be in an area in which supervision can be offered. You may therefore find it helpful to consider the current research interests of our staff before submitting an application.
Applicants should submit:
For applicants whose first language is not English, the University sets a minimum English Language proficiency level.
All stated English tests are acceptable for admission to this programme:
Integrated Skills in English II & III & IV: ISEII Pass with Pass in all sub-tests.
Tests are accepted for 2 years following date of successful completion.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use these tests to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level programmes. The University is also able to accept UKVI approved Secure English Language Tests (SELT) but we do not require a specific UKVI SELT for degree level programmes. We therefore still accept any of the English tests listed for admission to this programme.
Prices are based on the annual fee for full-time study. Fees for part-time study are half the full-time fee.
Irish nationals who are living in the Common Travel Area of the UK, EU nationals with settled or pre-settled status, and Internationals with Indefinite Leave to remain status can also qualify for home fee status.
We offer a 20% discount to our alumni on all Postgraduate Research and full Postgraduate Taught Masters programmes. This includes University of Glasgow graduates and those who have completed Junior Year Abroad, Exchange programme or International Summer School with us. The discount is applied at registration for students who are not in receipt of another discount or scholarship funded by the University. No additional application is required.
Depending on the nature of the research project, some students will be expected to pay a bench fee (also known as research support costs) to cover additional costs. The exact amount will be provided in the offer letter.
The Adam Smith Business School provides financial support for PhD students to attend international academic conferences to present their co-authored research.
eSharp is an international online journal for postgraduate research in the arts, humanities, social sciences and education. It is run entirely by graduate students and aims to provide a critical but supportive entry into the realm of academic publishing for emerging academics.
The School hosts seminars, workshops and conferences open to staff and research students.
The College of Social Sciences Graduate School draws together internationally recognised scholars and respected practitioners to offer a range of research programmes.
Our programmes are based on thorough training in research methods and we encourage you to take part in numerous exciting seminars, conferences and events. We offer modern library, IT services and a wide-range of support services. You will be living in one of Europe’s most exciting cities which has a vibrant cultural and social life .
Our Graduate School Researcher Development Programme will support you to plan your professional development over the course of your PhD and ensure your employability.
Identify potential supervisors.
All Postgraduate Research Students are allocated a supervisor who will act as the main source of academic support and research mentoring. You may want to identify a potential supervisor and contact them to discuss your research proposal before you apply. Please note, even if you have spoken to an academic staff member about your proposal you still need to submit an online application form.

An emphasis on excellence in teaching and research is central to the mission of the Rollins School of Public Health. This is exemplified each spring as several students, faculty, and staff are recognized with awards for their leadership , research, and teaching. Among the most prestigious teaching awards offered at Emory University is the Provost’s Distinguished Teaching Award for Excellence in Graduate and Professional Education .
Extended to a faculty member from each of the university’s seven graduate and professional schools who “excel as teachers within formal and informal educational settings,” this year’s recipient from Rollins is Lauren Christiansen-Lindquist , PhD, assistant teaching professor.
“Teaching is at the core of all that I do (in the classroom, mentoring, public health practice, and certainly parenting!), and it is such an honor to be recognized for something that is so close to my heart,” says Christiansen-Lindquist. “It’s a privilege to get to share my love of epidemiology with our students and equip them with the tools they need to address public health problems that are meaningful to them.”
Christiansen-Lindquist developed her love for teaching serendipitously. While she was pursuing her PhD in epidemiology, she dreaded the teaching assistantship required of the program due to her fear of public speaking.
“A few weeks into my first semester as a teaching assistant, I became more comfortable talking in front of the class, and quickly learned that not only did I love epidemiology, but I wanted everyone else to love it as much as I did. Since then, I've devoted much of my career to making complex epidemiologic concepts accessible.”
Among Christiansen-Lindquist’s many accomplishments articulated in her nomination letter by Timothy L. Lash, DSc, O. Wayne Rollins Distinguished Professor of Epidemiology and Chair, include her contributions to the Department of Epidemiology as director of graduate studies. Through this role, which she has held since 2019, Christiansen-Lindquist led the department’s transition to remote learning during the pandemic, switch to hybrid learning in 2020-2021, and return to a primarily in-person model in 2021-2022.
She co-led the development of new diversity, equity, and inclusion competencies that are now being incorporated into the department’s curriculum and has served as a mentor for students in the department. Earlier this spring, Christiansen-Lindquist also added “textbook author” to her resume with the release of Fundamentals of Epidemiology , co-authored with Kristin Wall, PhD (who was selected as one of this year’s Department of Epidemiology Distinguished Teaching Award winners ).
Lash noted Christiansen-Lindquist has taught 13 graduate or undergraduate courses in epidemiology at a range of levels and calls her ability to teach students with a breadth of foundational knowledge, “remarkable.”
He writes, “For each course, her lectures and graded evaluations are well-calibrated to the audience’s readiness to learn and to the size of the classroom. I have never known anyone else who has attempted to teach across this spectrum, let alone mastered the material and teaching at all levels. It is truly an exceptional skill set. Student evaluations of all these courses uniformly praise their learning experiences.”
Christiansen-Lindquist’s teaching also extends to her role as the mother of three young boys, whose at-home learning she shepherded throughout the pandemic. Lash notes that she also, “helped with education and programming at her sons’ schools throughout the pandemic, and co-developed the plans for pandemic management at their schools for fall 2021.”
Christiansen-Lindquist’s warmth and thoughtfulness in how she approaches her students and delivers course content are among many of her qualities applauded by students in their glowing course evaluations.
“Dr. Christiansen-Lindquist is an excellent instructor, mentor, colleague, and even friend,” writes MPH student Caroline Beasley in their nomination letter. “There are so many faculty at Rollins who stand out to me and are deserving of an award like this one, but I think it speaks volumes that Dr. Christiansen-Lindquist is the one who came first to mind for me.”
Previous testaments to Christiansen-Lindquist’s teaching excellence include her receipt of the 2023 Tom Koepsell & Noel Weiss Excellence in Education Award , the Department of Epidemiology’s Distinguished Teaching Award (2019), and Rollins Student Government Association Professor of the Year (2016 and 2021).
