Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Entrepreneurship and Business

About

T Due to its profile, our Doctoral School tends to fill a gap, since this is the first doctoral programme in Hungary whose training and research curricula focuses primarily on business and management issues of small and medium-sized enterprises and family businesses. We offer an educational and training programme based on applied sciences, from which those interested in an academic career and those associated with everyday business practice, and even those having an MBA degree may benefit. Our students completing the doctoral programme will acquire theoretical, methodological, and practical knowledge and skills that will allow them to pursue applied research, to analyse entrepreneurial, economic, and financial phenomena and processes with a scientific background, and to solve problems in the world of science, the real world of business, and in the public sphere. In the Entrepreneurship and Business programme, we develop business professionals who know the basic concepts and main relationships of business management, as well as the principles of management using resources and production factors. They will be able to manage, organise and operate business processes, establish organisations and institutions, and design or change their structure and organisational conduct. With their knowledge in the field of economics, social theory, applied economics, and methodology, they will be able to: Plan and analyse the processes of business organisations and institutions.
