PhD

The PhD programme is an internationally recognised research training programme. The intention is to bring the student to the international research frontier.

During the first part the PhD, students are required to participate in an individually designed advanced course programme. In the second part of the programme the purpose is to develop the PhD students’ ability to conduct research on a specific topic under supervision. The study finishes with a PhD thesis that can be a monograph or a collection of research papers including a summary which explains the scientific outcome of the papers and their connections.

The programme is designed to prepare students for academic positions involving research and teaching, as well as for careers in business, government and non-governmental agencies.

The Department of Economics and Business has approximately 70 PhD students (2011) and is especially strong in macroeconomics, theoretical and empirical labour economics, finance, time-series econometrics, accounting and auditing, and logistics and operations research.

New main academic area

### UNIT NAME ### is part of Business and Social Sciences, which is accredited by EQUIS (European Quality Improvement System).

What does Business and Social Sciences comprise?

As part of the academic development process at Aarhus University, the Aarhus School of Business (ASB) and the Faculty of Social Sciences (SAM) merged to become the new main academic area called Business and Social Sciences.

You can still go to www.asb.dk/en (ASB) and samfundsvidenskab.au.dk/en (SAM), but these websites will be closing soon.

New times at au.dk/en

The university’s website is being redesigned. The design and content will therefore change, and you may experience for a while that old and new sections are mixed together, and that the content is not in its usual place.

We hope that the new website will make up for any inconvenience, and that you will enjoy greater coherence throughout and find the website simpler to use.

Why are we making a mess?

In the time ahead, you will notice a mixture of old and new designs in the pages on the website.

In spring 2011, Aarhus University’s nine main academic areas were reduced to four, and the fifty-five departments became twenty-six. This was to unify the organisation and to strengthen the university’s interdisciplinary approach. We are now following suit by restructuring the entire website to ensure more coherence in the content and design.

Such an exercise takes time – and we hope you will bear with us!

Take a short cut

Under the HOT KEY at the top right, you can find links to the most frequently used content on the website, as well as the two new universes for staff and students.

Where can I find it?
