The Business School of the University of Nicosia offers a doctoral programme (PhD). The PhD is a theoretically focused, rigorous programme that requires candidates to make a significant contribution to knowledge and/or theory. It is ideal for candidates who wish to pursue a career in academia, but is also appropriate for those who would like to advance their careers in industry.
PhD students need to take one course (Research Philosophy, Methodology and Methods) which aims to prepare PhD candidates for designing their study. The course lasts 4 days and it is offered in the first year of studies. Students need to be physically present for the Research Philosophy, Methodology and Methods course. The thesis length is around 80.000 words.
Starting dates for enrolling on the programmes are Fall (October) and Spring (February). Specific positions available (by department and by faculty member) are announced on the website, and interested students are advised to check the website regularly for possible new announced positions. To be considered for entry on the doctoral programmes the applicant should complete an online application form and submit an initial research proposal. The research proposal is a significant part of the application.
Once accepted on the programme, students are assigned three supervisors, one main and two secondary, who guide them throughout their studies. There are frequent progress reports to ensure students receive the guidance they need and that they are on track. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with their supervisors at regular intervals. After the course(s) is/are completed successfully, students prepare a final research proposal, which is a detailed document of length 7.500-10.000 words that outlines their research plan, clearly showing theoretical contribution, and methodological approach suggested. When this is approved by the relevant committee, they proceed with their research and register for their thesis.
