Berlin School of Economics

The structured Ph.D. program at the Berlin School of Economics offers the option to do a Ph.D. in the fields of economics, accounting, finance or management. Ph.D. students are offered an excellent research and working environment. The Ph.D. program starts with a qualification phase (duration: approx. 3 semesters), followed by the dissertation phase (duration: approx. 3 years). During the qualification phase, methodological and strongly research-oriented training takes place with courses in, for example, economic theory, applied economics, business administration, econometrics and economic policy. In the subsequent dissertation phase (approximately three years), doctoral students write their dissertation and have the opportunity to apply their knowledge in a professional research environment and to establish contacts.
