Doctoral Programme / EBS Business School

Tuition is 4,560 EUR per year.

The EBS Business School Doctoral Study Programme is a structured doctoral programme offered at EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht in Oestrich-Winkel, Germany, running over 4 semesters. The programme covers theoretical and methodological foundations in business and management research, supplemented by specialised elective courses tailored to individual research fields. The programme consists of two mandatory courses offered every semester, plus at least four elective courses taken during the annual Doctoral Summer School. Recent Summer School course offerings have included Theoretical Perspectives in Management, Qualitative Research Methods, Survey Design and Measurement, Advanced Econometrics, Fundamentals of Experimental Design and Analysis, and Introduction to Econometrics. All teaching is in English, typically delivered in block seminar format over two and a half days. Progress is monitored through mandatory semi-yearly proposal defences with supervisors, and at least one presentation at an international conference on the EBS target list is required. Active attendance at three internal research colloquia is also expected. Tuition is 4,560 EUR per year. Admission requires first obtaining a promise of doctoral supervision from a senior EBS professor; the Doctoral Committee, which includes the Dean and Vice Dean of Research, meets twice a year to make final admission decisions. The programme is offered at EBS Universität für Wirtschaft und Recht in Oestrich-Winkel, Germany.
