About the Master’s and Doctoral Programs
The Graduate School of Management was established with the aim of developing researchers and leading professionals with advanced expertise. The course for researchers comprises two parts: a master's program and a doctoral program.
In the two-year master's program, students gain foundational knowledge in specialist fields by completing a broad spectrum of classes while writing their master's thesis.
The doctoral program, which is an additional three years of study, is for students who want to specialize beyond a master's degree. The aim of the doctorate is for junior researchers to demonstrate the ability to plan and conduct scientific research on their independently developed doctoral dissertation.
