PhD in Management

The Management specialisation is a four-year, full-time doctoral programme of 240 ECTS delivered in English at Estonian Business School in Tallinn. It examines how management, organisations and human behaviour connect, and it leads to a PhD in Management. It is intended for international graduate students who want an academic career and for experienced professionals who wish to deepen their theoretical grounding or pursue scholarship. Candidates normally bring a research topic of their own or select one from areas proposed by the school's knowledge teams or funded projects. Study begins with 60 ECTS of general coursework covering finance, strategy and organisational behaviour, together with quantitative and qualitative methods, and concludes with a defended research proposal. After admission, candidates can take up a Junior Research Fellow post or enrol independently as doctoral students, and each agrees an individual plan with a supervisor.
