PhD Programme in Management (PMA)
Introduction
The PhD Programme in Management (PMA) is organised by the School of Management at the University of St. Gallen. The curriculum includes five areas of specialisation: Accounting, Behavioral Science, Business Innovation, General Management, and Marketing. It follows a preparation structure with a coursework phase and a research phase, which can be individually designed. Each specialisation includes methodological background and in-depth subject knowledge for the chosen field.
Students can choose from a variety of empirical methodological courses, including qualitative and quantitative options, depending on their research projects. Courses and seminars in Accounting, Behavioral Science, and General Management are offered in English, with passive German language skills helpful in the general study context.
