Study content:
As part of the program, you will engage with a study script focused on the fields of Economics and Management. This script, provided through the university's e-learning platform, covers a wide range of topics within business administration, economics as well as offering insights into its many diverse subfields. Designed to encourage independent thought and in-depth understanding, the study script includes a series of carefully structured questions. Each question must be answered in a free-writing format, with a minimum of half a page per response.
In addition to completing the study script, you are required to write a dissertation of at least 60 pages. This dissertation allows you to explore a topic of your choice, providing flexibility to pursue research that aligns with your interests and academic goals. Unlike the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) program, the Doctor of Science program permits you to select a dissertation topic that is only partly related to economics. This means your research can also address aspects from other academic disciplines, fostering an interdisciplinary approach. If you have already written a text of high quality, you may be able to use it as a foundation for your dissertation, saving time and enabling you to build on your previous work.
The program is designed to offer maximum flexibility to accommodate your individual needs and schedule. The study script and dissertation work are completed entirely in English, and there are no mandatory lectures, exams, or fixed deadlines. This structure allows you to progress at your own pace, making it an excellent choice for professionals balancing their studies with other commitments.
Through this program, you will deepen your understanding of economics and management while also cultivating your research skills, ultimately producing a dissertation that reflects your unique academic and professional perspective.
There are no fixed lectures, exams or dates.
