The core PhD curriculum equips you with the research methods you need to write a doctoral dissertation, write research papers and /or studies of publishable quality, and oversee student research. Beyond this core, you must validate 17 credits of multidisciplinary coursework, choosing from five specialization options. All options other than International Business require you to validate nine credits or more of coursework in a specific discipline. All five options represent the same number of credits and roughly the same investment of time and energy.
Taught by professors carefully chosen for their expertise and experience, our e-learning courses give you the flexibility to study for your PhD anywhere in the world. Throughout each course you can access materials, communicate with the instructor, participate in discussions, and benefit from one-on-one contact and feedback.
