Job information

The University of Bedfordshire are pleased to offer a full-time Masters by Research studentship in the subject area of User Interface (UI) design for Business Management Systems (BMS). This exciting new studentship has been made available through the collaboration of the Institute for Research in Applicable Computing, Life Science Group Ltd and the Productivity Escalator project, a part funded ERDF project run by the University of Bedfordshire.

This project builds on Life Science Group’s history as a fast-growing company and reflects on the implications for the various forms of Business Management Software (BMS) that underpins, supports, and drives their day-to-day processes. This research project seeks to investigate these issues and propose solutions to facilitate a smooth transition from small to large scale. It will explore design and UI features of BMS when companies transition from small start-ups to a medium size with the perspective to grow further.  The research will use Life Science Group as case study and as the main source for data collection.
