The Doctoral Programme in Business Studies educates national and international level experts and researchers in business studies. High-level business expertise is needed in universities, institutions of higher education, private and public sector research institutes, and other units connected to entrepreneurship, and in demanding executive, development and other expert positions of private and public sectors.
The aim of the programme is that the students gain in-depth understanding of their research field, its development, central research questions, social significance, and gain the abilities to critically and independently apply methods of scientific research and create new scientific knowledge in their study field.
