Concept of the study programme
The length of study is four years, which provides sufficient time for the students' research and for processing of a high quality doctoral thesis. It has been shown that in the field of management science it is necessary that the doctoral thesis must be based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative research and that the results must be verified in practice. Great emphasis in the study load is therefore put on the research work of the students. Such emphasis is projected also to the number and structure of basic mandatory exams. In addition to the English and a second foreign language exams, the PhD student must pass an exam related to the core subject of the faculty and the core subject of the field and an exam of a subjects related to the topic of the dissertation and its processing. Besides to these basic fields of study, the faculty provides number of other courses in order to ensure the expected level of knowledge of a graduate. This structure allows that students concentrate mainly on their research leading to a high quality dissertation.
