The doctoral programme at Frankfurt School is entirely in English.
The doctoral programme aims to develop strong analytical skills, teach students how to publish in top journals and enable them to build a strong global academic network. The first two years can also count toward the Master of Business Research and Analytics MSc (MBRA), which is ideal if you do not yet hold a Master’s degree. This fully-funded programme includes advanced courses, close faculty support, and a vibrant research environment in one of Europe’s leading business schools.
The Doctoral Programme at Frankfurt School offers four research-focused concentrations: Accounting, Finance, Management, and Economics. Each concentration provides in-depth training, academic guidance, and the tools needed to build a successful research career in the respective field.
In the first two years, you will strengthen your academic foundation through coursework and examinations in Accounting, Finance, Economics, or Management. During the following three years, you will focus on producing high-quality research under the close supervision of our faculty.
