The Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics offers various Doctoral programs. In addition to the traditional Doctoral program (Track A), structured Doctoral programs are also offered (Track B and C). The structured Doctoral programs are in English.
Track A: Traditional doctorate
The Track A doctorate involves a dissertation as well as successful completion of doctoral courses for a total of at least 18 ECTS credits. The Track A doctorate is aimed at students who are already working closely with a professor of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics in a specific area of research. If you have not explicitly been invited to apply to the Track A program by a professor of the Faculty of Business, Economics and Informatics, you are not eligible for the program.
Track B: Structured Doctoral programs for holders of a Master's degree
Students who intend to pursue an academic career and hold a Master's degree (or equivalent, such as the Swiss lic. oec. or the German Universitätsdiplom) with a distinction of at least "magna cum laude" are offered the opportunity to take courses in the Track B program in Economics, Business Administration, Banking and Finance, or Management and Economics in preparation for writing a dissertation. The compulsory modules include an independent research proposal. The candidate must then write a dissertation based on this foundation.
Track C: Structured fast-track Doctoral programs for outstanding Bachelor's degree graduates
If you hold an excellent Bachelor's degree as well as recommendation letters and wish to pursue a career in academia, you may apply for one of the fast-track Doctoral programs. In addition to a dissertation, the programs comprise the successful completion of courses at both the Master's and Doctoral levels. A Master's degree is earned first, followed by a Doctoral degree. The programs are also offered in Economics, Business Administration, Banking and Finance, and Management and Economics.
