Introduction
Why Management Ph.D. at Ibn Haldun University?
The Ph.D. program’s mission is to educate students from across the globe who aspire to become scholars and make new contributions to management. We bring together our first-class faculty and cutting-edge research methods in an immersive, exciting study environment where the next generation of management scholars can refine their expertise. Our Ph.D. program combines highly relevant and structured training in the first two years with close mentorship from supervisors to help students cultivate their research skills for pioneering interdisciplinary social science research. With our Istanbul location, ample funding opportunities (including a fee waiver and stipend), and powerful commitment, we are dedicated to supporting and stimulating our doctoral students in a multicultural environment to realize their full potential.
While the Ph.D. program provides solid training in the theory and methods of various management fields, it also allows the students to apply the theory to practice. Besides rigorous course work covering strategic management, organizational theory, behavior, and operations management, students gain hands-on experience in the research process by working with faculty members on research projects from the early stages of their studies. In this respect, we conduct interdisciplinary social science research that profoundly impacts how the world does business. Thus, the program offers students a highly stimulating learning environment to be influential in the future of management.

Curriculum
Our Ph.D. students receive sophisticated training in the latest research methods, enabling them to pursue productive academic careers. Their training consists of two parts: coursework to provide them with the required research skills and the existing body of knowledge and a closely supervised thesis. The program runs on a full-time basis in English. During the coursework stage, students are required to take four core and four elective courses (for a total of 24 credits) in different management fields, including strategy, organizational behavior, finance, marketing, operations, information systems, and entrepreneurship. Having successfully defended their thesis and following the completion of any required amendments, they are awarded a Ph.D. degree.
