The PhD in Business Administration and Quantitative Methods is offered jointly by the Departments of Business Administration and Statistics. The mission of the program is to develop leading scholars in finance, management, marketing, accounting, operations research, statistics and econometrics for careers in research and teaching at leading universities and business schools. A broad knowledge of business ensures that students fully appreciate the interdependencies and complexity of management problems. At the same time, a strong training in quantitative methods introduces them to the possibility of interdisciplinary and qualified empirical research.
The program is full-time and starts in September. Students are expected to finish their dissertation in two to three years. There are two ways of entry into the program. The main one is the Master in Business Administration and Quantitative Methods offered at Universidad Carlos III. Students who graduate from that program with a minimum required grade point average can enter the PhD program. We also admit a very limited number of students who hold a similar Master degree from another institution. However, in those cases, admission may be conditional on taking some additional courses and presenting a dissertation proposal.
