Doctoral Study Program "Business Administration and Economics" (examination regulations 2014/2015)

Since the winter semester 2014/2015, the Faculty of Business, Economics and Social Sciences has offered a structured doctoral study program “Business Administration and Economics” with the two doctoral study courses  “Economics” and “Management/Finance.” For information on the current doctoral study program please visit the program website “Business, Economics and Social Sciences" (examination regulations 2023).

Additional doctoral study program to the regular doctoral project

Participation in the doctoral study program requires acceptance as a doctoral candidate in the Faculty. For this, in particular the independent search for a supervisor, who in turn must be a member in one of the two doctoral study courses, is necessary.

Finally, acceptance in the doctoral study program can be requested. The application for acceptance is done in writing and can be submitted at any time.
