Programme Overview
The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Business Administration is a rigorous academic programme designed to prepare individuals for successful careers in research and teaching within the field of business. The PhD in Business Administration is a 3- year programme typically involving a combination of coursework, seminars, independent research, and a dissertation.
This coursework provides a deep understanding of core business disciplines like finance, accounting, marketing, management, and operations. Seminars foster critical thinking and debate on current research topics within these areas.
A significant portion of the programme focuses on independent research culminating in a dissertation. Students work closely with faculty advisors to develop a research question, conduct rigorous research using appropriate methodologies, analyze data, and present novel findings that contribute to the existing body of knowledge.
This process hones students’ research skills, their ability to think critically and independently, and their capacity to make significant contributions to the field.
