Doctor Of Philosophy (PhD)

The Ph.D. programme is built on a mix of scholar and practical professor. As a result, this programme is primarily focused on training future managers to understand the internal competencies of this specialisation, as well as to add information through dynamic approaches to scientific research that assess, develop, and study evaluation theories and techniques, as well as understanding the basic framework to fully navigate teaching and business practises, as well as investing in skills that clearly support assessment and implementation.

The PhD programme at the Swiss School of Business Research (SSBR) is linked with worldwide higher education norms and fulfils European higher education criteria. The curriculum is divided into three major stages: classroom, research laboratory (data gathering and analysis), and doctorate thesis (writing and defense).  The curriculum is divided into three workshops. After completing the first stage of the programme, the student is eligible to go on to the second level, which consists of data collecting, editing, and analysis.
