About this program
PhD – Doctor of Philosophy in Management
Postgraduate courses are divided into program-specific courses. Electives can be chosen from any of the scheduled courses offered at the postgraduate level. Program-specific courses are scheduled based on enrollments and may not be available at all campuses. Refer to the program schedule for further details. Refer to the course overview for the list of available courses. Students are recommended to complete courses and earn credits at the highest level possible.
Admission requirements
Students should be fluent in English, and have obtained a Master's Degree (or equivalent qualification according to the European Qualifications Framework). Refer to the application process for further details on the recommended English language levels.
Degrees with 240 European credits or 160 American semester credits are typically considered equivalent if they are equivalent also on the European Qualifications Framework. Other degrees can be submitted along with your application for review by our Admissions Department. No distinction is made between academic or professional Master's Degrees.
Students who do not hold a business-related Master's Degree or equivalent may be required to complete an inbound assessment test prior to starting the program, and, depending on the results, earn an additional number of credits in leveling courses from the Master's program in order to be fully prepared for our postgraduate programs.

Program duration
Part-time students can earn a Doctoral degree in 2 to 4 academic years, depending on the number of courses attempted per quarter, the course selection, and the course planning; completing half the typical number of courses equals twice the duration of the part-time program. The more flexible the working hours, the more courses will be available to finish faster. All Postgraduate students are considered part-time. Part-time studies are available only for students with a national passport or residence permit.
Teaching schedule
Courses are scheduled across main and branch campuses from Monday to Saturday between 8:30 and 18:30, typically in sessions of 3 hours each and in an intensive seminar format with visiting professors, providing students the flexibility to combine work and studies, and fostering inter-campus exchanges and global networking. Refer to the course planning for further details on the availability of seminar courses. Additional courses may be available online; additional academic policies and conditions will apply.
