The PhD program in Business Administration and Management at Bocconi University is seeking applicants with exceptional academic credentials and the drive to excel at scholarly research.

Our PhD is a 4-year full-time program that offers training in a variety of disciplines related to management studies and emphasizes the skills necessary to integrate different approaches and develop coherent and cutting-edge research. We provide a collaborative, supportive and intellectually stimulating research environment for discovery and dissemination of scientific knowledge applicable to the business community. Students will develop the theoretical and methodological skills required to participate and publish at the highest standards of the international scientific community.

Our PhD program includes two curricula, Management and Marketing (students select one curriculum when they apply). The curriculum in Management has two main tracks: Organization, and Strategy & Innovation. Our first-year students acquire a broad set of theoretical and methodological skills relevant to various fields in management studies through a series of common compulsory courses, attend courses specific to their curriculum, and begin developing their own research. In the second year, our students mainly attend a series of field and elective courses, and continue developing their research work. The third and fourth years are entirely dedicated to research and dissertation development.

Faculty members are leading scholars in their fields. They contribute to the international debate by publishing in and serving the editorial board of research journals, such as: Academy of Management Journal, Strategic Management Journal, Organization Science, Management Science, Academy of Management Review, Journal of Marketing, Journal of Marketing Research, Journal of Consumer Research, Marketing Science, and many others. Visiting professors from top international schools complement our permanent Faculty.

Our students have placed very well on the international job market. Recent academic placements include: INSEAD, National University of Singapore, Wharton, Tsinghua University, Northeastern University, Tilburg University, EM Lyon, LMU Munich, UC Dublin, Erasmus University Rotterdam, HEC Paris, Imperial College, Catolica Lisbon, ESSEC, SKEMA, ETH Zurich, and University of Amsterdam, among others.
