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. In the initial phase, students undertake coursework in research methodology, statistical analysis, and domain-specific subjects that help them understand and critically evaluate complex commercial phenomena. Subsequently, scholars engage in independent, original research that contributes to the existing body of knowledge in commerce. Throughout the program, students hone a range of academic and professional competencies, including critical thinking, leadership, data interpretation, academic writing, and problem-solving. The Ph.D. journey also emphasizes ethical research practices and the ability to generate evidence-based insights that address real-world business and economic challenges.
