The Doctoral Academy offers its doctoral students a diverse study program that they attend whilst writing their PhD thesis. The study program promotes their research activities thematically and methodologically, helps them to become aware of questions of theory-practice transfer, and broadens their research horizons.

We want to equip doctoral students with the knowledge, networks and pracitcal insights needed to thrive both in their research and as future leaders in academia, business or policy.

1 YEAR - 4 INDIVIDUAL MODULES: 2 Academic Weeks, 2 Writing Retreats

The Doctoral Academy is based on four pillars:

  • Theory and Methods Courses
  • Theory-Practice-Transfer
  • Networking
  • Academic Skills

The Writing Retreats offer a supportive environment for young researchers to work on their projects, connect with fellow scholars and develop academic skills

In the Academic Weeks our candidates learn about business ethics from a behavioral and a normative perspective, get insights on the practical applications of ethical theories in business and have the opportunity to engage with leading scholars and industry practitioners.
