Overview
Program aims
The Business Analytics program at the University of Lausanne aims to attract the best doctoral students and guide them to become competent independent researchers. Successful applicants must hold a MSc degree with a strong quantitative component, e.g., Business Analytics, Engineering, Mathematics, Statistics or Operational Research.
While the PhD in Business Analytics opens the way for an academic career, it also offers very diverse employment opportunities in consulting and large corporations.
Undertaking doctoral studies requires a strong personal commitment for three to five years. During a first phase, our doctoral candidates acquire the necessary research skills and domain-specific knowledge through a tailor-made course program.
They also perform a literature review and defend their thesis proposal. The second phase is dedicated to writing research papers, culminating in the defence of the doctoral thesis.
Programme Structure
- The program consists of two stages.
- During the first stage, students acquire methodological skills and area specific knowledge, and lay the foundation of their dissertation research.
- Activities include course work, writing and presenting a literature review, and writing and defending a thesis proposal.
- The second stage is devoted to writing and defending the thesis.
- Throughout the program students participate in the PhD seminars.
