The Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Marketing at Tashkent Metropolitan University is a research-intensive doctoral program for scholars who want to generate original knowledge about consumer behavior, branding, and market strategy, and pursue careers in academia, corporate strategy research, or high-level marketing leadership.
The program begins with advanced doctoral seminars in consumer psychology, marketing theory, and quantitative and qualitative research methods, equipping candidates with the methodological rigor required for publishable research. Working closely with a faculty supervisor, candidates identify a research gap in areas such as digital consumer behavior, brand strategy, or marketing analytics.
After completing coursework and a comprehensive examination, candidates advance to candidacy by defending a dissertation proposal. The remainder of the program is devoted to independent dissertation research, culminating in a written dissertation and its public defense before a doctoral committee, with support to present findings at conferences and publish in peer-reviewed marketing journals.
Applicants must hold a Master's degree (or equivalent) in marketing, business, or a closely related field, together with a research proposal and the required English language proficiency, to enroll in this program.
