The PhD program at the Faculty of Management (FMAN) is primarily intended for candidates who aspire to a career in academia. Some graduates may also take positions in public or private sector organizations involved in research, management training, or consultancy. The goal is to have graduates who can perform and contribute at an international level in any of these possible career paths.
The PhD program is open to candidates with a background in business, economics, social sciences, as well as engineering or natural sciences. If the applicants have not been exposed to core business subjects during undergraduate or graduate studies, they may be required to enroll for an additional one or two term preparatory period. Such a period may require that students take master's level courses specified by the FMAN's PhD Committee. Upon successful completion of this period, the student is admitted to the PhD program. Currently the PhD program offers specializations in Management and Organization, Operations and Supply Chain Management and Finance.
The program has a strong research orientation where participants are expected to be closely involved with ongoing research in FMAN and to develop their own research agenda. The doctoral program draws upon not only the core faculty of FMAN but also the faculty of and courses offered in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences.
Normally the doctoral program takes four to five years to complete. The maximum time allowed is six years. All stages of the program require full-time involvement and commitment on part of the participants.

The PhD program consists of three main components, namely, coursework usually lasting two academic years, a qualifying examination and a dissertation. If the PhD committee deems necessary, the students may enroll in the scientific preparatory program for an additional year. Altogether the completion of program requirements should be expected to take four to five years, regulations concerning each of the components are are accessible through the "Student Resources" section of the University's website.
PhD students majoring in one of the three main areas of specialization can complete their coursework in two years by fulfilling the course requirements indicated below. Students are expected to take the qualifying examination after they complete course requirements and before the end of their fifth term in the program. The qualifying requirement consists of both written and oral assessments. Following successful completion, the student develops a research idea and a dissertation proposal with the assistance of his or her supervisor and thesis proposal committee. Within six months after the qualifying examinations, the student orally defends his or her proposal in front of the committee. Upon approval, the PhD candidate can then proceed with the dissertation, which is then read by the five-person dissertation committee. The final approval is given by the student's committee after an oral defense of the dissertation.
