Focus and Scope

The Beagle is a bi-annual e journal devoted exclusively to scholarly academic research and writing by students at the University of Greenwich Business School. The journal will feature substantial scholarly academic work by both undergraduates and postgraduates underpinned by robust secondary and, if possible, primary research, relating to students’ learning-related interests, activities or summative assignments carried out as part of their programme assessment. Articles might also relate to work experiences or internships or entrepreneurship, but must robustly link theory and practice by reference to secondary and, if possible, primary research and not be a descriptive ‘story’.
