The PhD Program at SolBridge builds on the knowledge and skills of students who have completed master’s level in business and related disciplines. In this program students will gain a solid grounding in management and research theory and practice through foundational subjects, including economics, strategy, marketing, organizational behavior, and management. Students will develop a strong background in theoretical knowledge and research fundamentals. Our focus is on delivering the highest quality doctoral education and supporting students for the completion of course works, and for the preparation of a comprehensive examination and thesis writing.

A unique strength of our program is our attentions to collaborations between doctoral students and faculty. Each student will be matched with a faculty member upon admission to the program, and they will work closely with faculty on research projects of mutual interest.

Students will learn various methodologies that are required to pursue their research interests, including field studies, statistical analysis, behavioral experiments, and theoretical and empirical modelling. SolBridge provides comprehensive support for methodological and statistical consultation, data collection and analysis, programming, and thesis preparation. Our post-doctoral researchers at SolBridge will offer tutoring and consultation services to all students.
