The Doctor of Philosophy in Management is a postgraduate degree that gives students the ability to learn current research methodology and how to apply these skills to analyzing business management. Students who enroll in this program master, for example, how to answer questions related to management theories and current case studies in business leadership and management. Graduates of this program typically use their studies to apply their research in the workforce and academia.

The Doctor of Philosophy in Management takes 60 credits to complete.

Both EU/EEA and Non-European students must provide the application form, the non-refundable application fee, curriculum vitae, copy of their valid passport or identity card or residence permit, copies of all relevant degrees, diplomas, certificates and transcripts (not applicable to transfer and exchange students), a letter of motivation stating their career objectives and program expectations and two passport-sized photographs.
