The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Accounting and Finance at Tashkent Metropolitan University is a research-intensive doctoral program for scholars and senior practitioners who want to generate original knowledge in accounting, corporate finance, and financial markets, and pursue careers in academia, central banking, or high-level financial strategy.
The program begins with advanced doctoral seminars in financial theory, research methodology, and quantitative and qualitative analysis, giving candidates the methodological toolkit needed for rigorous, publishable research. Candidates work closely with a dedicated faculty supervisor to identify a research gap in areas such as corporate finance, financial reporting, asset pricing, or auditing and governance.
After successfully completing coursework and a comprehensive (qualifying) examination, candidates advance to candidacy by defending a dissertation proposal. The remainder of the program is dedicated to original dissertation research, culminating in a written dissertation and its public defense before a doctoral committee. Candidates are encouraged to present their work at academic conferences and submit to peer-reviewed journals throughout the process.
Applicants must hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in accounting, finance, economics, or a closely related field, together with a research proposal and the required English language proficiency, to enroll in this program.
