Business Administration

The Business Administration PhD program from University of Pécs is aimed at professionals in business or public administration with several years of experience in their field, but not necessarily in research or education. 

Key facts:

• The Business Administration PhD program from University of Pécs combines the advantages of contact-based and distance-based education, drawing on the contribution of recognized national and international experts.
• In its design, the program combines two major international traditions in doctoral education such as the American tradition (where several years of formal education is needed to get the PhD) and the European tradition (with a usually limited number of classes and a strong emphasis on independent dissertation research).
• The study period provides the students with the opportunity to divide their studies into two parts: intensive study period spent at the Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE), UP and extensive home study. This approach combines the advantages of the contact-based and distance-based methods.
• In each of the four semesters, students spend approximately 10 days on the premises of the FBE UP and follow lectures, attend seminars, have dissertation consultations with their dissertation advisors and may also do research in the Faculty Library.
