Overview
The aim of the doctoral degree programme in Business Economics at University of Liechtenstein is to develop and promote emerging researchers as an extension of the Master’s degree programme, and at other stages of their careers.
At the University of Liechtenstein, budding researchers with a Master's degree or equivalent academic degree in business sciences/business economics and excellent records can scientifically investigate subjects within the R&D framework of the university in one of the following research focal areas:
- Entrepreneurship and Management: Growth and Complexity
- International Financial Services: Wealth Management (Banking, Finance, Tax)
- Information Systems: Business Process Management
The degree programme is organised in two sections. The first is structured into a set of curricular offerings. In this preparation phase, methodical and subject competencies are further expanded. The doctoral students prepare a preliminary study, or research plan, for their dissertation, to be presented in a colloquium. The preliminary study must be approved before continuing the programme.
The second section of the degree programme is the dissertation phase. Research is carried out independently, and the results are presented in the form of a dissertation. Seminars or colloquia relating to the dissertation must be attended. The dissertation is concluded with a disputation, or oral defence. The dissertation must be published before the academic degree can be awarded.Get more details
