Programme Overview

A Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Commerce is a prestigious academic degree that involves rigorous and advanced study in disciplines such as economics, marketing, accounting, finance, and other related areas. The program typically spans three to five years, depending on the university, research progress, and the nature of the dissertation work. The curriculum is designed to develop both theoretical depth and practical research skills.

Throughout the program, students hone a range of academic and professional competencies, including critical thinking, leadership, data interpretation, academic writing, and problem-solving.
