Doctoral Education at the School of Business and Economics
At the School of Business and Economics there are three postgraduate level programs; in Business Administration, Economics and Statistics.
The education at postgraduate level corresponds to four years of full-time study up to a doctorate degree and two years of full-time study up to a licentiate degree. Teaching is given in the form of courses, seminars and individual supervision.
Organization of the doctoral education
The doctoral education at the School of Business and Economics is coordinated through two supervisory committees: one for Business Administration and another joint committee for Economics and Statistics. Each subject has a program director, who serve as chairperson for each committee.
Additionally, there is a programme council for the doctoral education, chaired by the pro dean, and the programme directors for each subject are members.
Both supervisory committees and the programme council have elected doctoral student representatives. These organizational bodies prepare items for the faculty board and dean's decision meeting.
