Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

CBE offers PhD programs across the full range of disciplines within business and economics.

The College’s PhD candidates are required to submit a thesis of no more than 100,000 words. The thesis must be an original work that not only demonstrates the candidate’s ability to undertake world-class research, but that also makes a substantial contribution to the advancement of knowledge in their chosen area of study. Before completing their thesis, PhD candidates are required to complete a selection of graduate-level coursework units, usually during their first year of study, to assist them in completing their dissertation.

Admission requirements, program structure and program duration vary by discipline. You should carefully review all discipline-specific information before applying for entry to a PhD program.
