PhD in te in Management

The Ph.D. in Management at Kozminski University in Warszawa is a four-year, eight-semester doctoral program delivered in English, with yearly tuition of 28,000 EUR. Kozminski University has held the right to award Ph.D. degrees in management since 1998, and the doctoral program itself began in 1999. As the only private university in Poland to hold habilitation (senior doctoral) rights in management, granted for the past five years, the university offers full doctoral studies with an extended academic track. Its research and degree-granting authority also covers economics, held since 2008, and finance, held since 2013. A Ph.D. is valued across sectors including financial services, public administration, politics, and consulting, and is widely recognized as evidence of advanced research training on the international academic market. The Kozminski doctoral program pairs candidates with faculty experienced in dissertation supervision and structures study so that professional work can continue alongside coursework and research, an arrangement suited to practitioners already established in business careers. Course work in a management doctorate of this kind typically spans research methodology, quantitative and qualitative analysis, and a specialization seminar tied to the candidate's dissertation topic, culminating in the defense of an original thesis. Graduates commonly pursue careers in academia, applied research, senior corporate strategy, and public-policy analysis, or move into consulting roles that draw on advanced analytical training. For international applicants, English-medium instruction removes the need for Polish-language proficiency, though most cohort activities take place at the Warszawa campus. The program suits candidates seeking a rigorous, research-focused credential built around independent scholarship and formal supervision over a multi-year timeline.
