The high number of applicants, as well as the significant number of completed theses and publications (journal papers and conference papers), as a result of research carried out during the PhD programme in Business and Management Studies, testify to the fact that the work done has been fruitful.

Target group
The Programme aims to promote the training of researchers in the area of Business and Management Studies. Applicants who wish to enroll in this programme must be highly motivated:
- To become a full member of the international research community of management scholars;
- To participate in international conferences;
- To submit the research for publication in international academic journals.
Candidates are expected to have earned a master’s degree from an accredited institution in business and management studies or economics. Candidates who have not previously completed a master’s degree in these fields may be required to attend specific training sessions prior to taking the remaining courses in their degree plan. Satisfying minimal standards does not guarantee admission. Admission decisions are based on a number of factors such as the academic degrees and records, the statement of purpose (motivation letter), and relevant research experience. In the statement of purpose, candidates should describe their research interests and aspirations, and motivation to pursue a doctorate degree.
Entry into the highest academic degree is not an action to be taken lightly. The pursuit of the doctorate requires a considerable personal sacrifice and time available on the part of the aspirant.

Testimonials
“I believe that the most disctintive feature of this PhD programme is the world class researchers that the School has in house. They can really help you to take your research to the next level. Most of the non elective courses are one to one, with a supervising professor and that is really important, because they allow you to really customize and direct all your efforts according to what you want to research, what you want to achieve.”
“Attending the PhD in Business and Management Studies at the School of Economics and Management of the University of Porto proved to be an extremely enriching personal and professional experience, allowing me to acquire, deepen and share a wide range of knowledge and develop solid personal relationships. Endowed with a teaching staff of excellent quality, fostering rigorous scientific research alongside the practical component, the PhD in Business and Management Studies is undeniably playing an important role in my professional activity as a researcher and Professor of higher education. Given the quality, based on rigour and demand, I strongly recommend the PhD in Business and Management Studies.”
