Information Systems Science – (Ph.D.)

Hanken offers advanced research-based doctoral education to students aiming for a career requiring analytical thinking and research skills, be it in academia, the corporate world or the public sector. The studies leading to a PhD degree require four years of full-time study, of which approximately one year consists of course work. The thesis project constitutes the remaining part of the degree and is carried out under active supervision. Hanken is a member of several Finnish Researcher Schools and is involved in active collaboration within international networks and with other universities. This guarantees the availability of a wide range of courses and other academic activities for its students.

The Department of Management and Organisation provides an arena for national and international co-operative research. Both knowledge and research experience are offered, with relevance for both the international research community and the creation of management knowledge in private and public organisations. This is accomplished in a stimulating research climate with inspiring research and a history of successful postgraduate training.

The majors that you can choose within the PhD programme at the department are Management and Organisation, Entrepreneurship and Management and Information System Science.

The importance of international collaboration in all areas of activity is emphasised. Publishing high-quality research in leading international journals and publishing houses is a high priority.
