Ways towards a Doctoral Degree

At the Business School, there are two ways of working towards a doctoral degree (Dr. rer. pol.).

During the GESS course program I acquired advanced theoretical and methodological skills in Econometrics and Finance. It was an excellent starting point for my own research projects. The GESS is a great opportunity to get to know PhD students from different areas.

A doctoral education at a Chair allows for a lot of flexibility and offers room for development. Our team of young and dynamic researchers is highly motivated. It is great to exchange opinions with my fellows and start joint projects.

Pursuing my PhD at the Graduate School of Economic and Social Sciences was one of the most rewarding experiences in my life.

After completing the Mannheim Master of Management (MMM), the doctorate at the chair offers an excellent opportunity to expand my academic education in a target-oriented and individual way. In particular, the continuous scientific discourse with colleagues and the exchange with students within the scope of my teaching activities enrich my work in a sustainable way.
