Entrepreneurship Specialisation PhD programme

The Entrepreneurship specialisation is a four-year, full-time doctoral programme of 240 ECTS taught in English in Tallinn, leading to a PhD in Management. It connects academic research with business practice and focuses on making research relevant in real-world settings. Each candidate follows an individual route shaped by their research subject and professional background. On admission, they can take up a Junior Research Fellow post or enrol independently as doctoral students, and visiting PhD students from related areas are also accepted. The first 60 ECTS are general coursework shared with the Management specialisation. The programme suits graduates aiming at academic or research-intensive careers and experienced professionals or entrepreneurs who want to study entrepreneurial phenomena by means of doctoral research. Applicants need a relevant master's degree, a strong interest in entrepreneurship research and an initial research problem suitable for doctoral inquiry.
