The jumpstart for your PhD trajectory

The growth of big data and advanced analytical methods is reshaping business thinking. As a result, there's a rising need for highly skilled professionals capable of deriving insights to address complex business problems.  

The program helps students jumpstart their PhD trajectory by solid training in research methodologies and direct research experience through the thesis, electives, research internship, during seminars, research clinic, thesis work, interaction with faculty, and teaching experience (e.g., teaching assistantships). Graduates typically continue into PhD programs and pursue academic careers

Students who successfully complete the research master Business Data Science are assisted in finding PhD positions.
