The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Management at Tashkent Metropolitan University is a research-intensive doctoral program for scholars and senior practitioners who want to generate original knowledge about organizations, leadership, and strategy, and pursue careers in academia, consulting research, or executive strategy roles.
The program opens with advanced doctoral seminars in organizational theory, strategic management, and research methodology, equipping candidates with the rigorous quantitative and qualitative tools required for publishable management research. Working closely with a faculty supervisor, candidates identify a research gap in areas such as organizational behavior, strategic decision-making, or human resource management.
After completing coursework and a comprehensive examination, candidates advance to candidacy by defending a dissertation proposal. The remainder of the program is dedicated to independent dissertation research, culminating in a written dissertation and its public defense before a doctoral committee, with support to present at conferences and publish in peer-reviewed management journals.
Applicants must hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in business, management, or a closely related field, together with a research proposal and the required English language proficiency, to enroll in this program.
