SzEEDSM is a unique, accredited English language PhD program in Business Administration in Hungary. The program, built on academic rigor and generally accepted theories and research methods of Management, emphasizes practical relevance and the importance of using multiple theoretical lenses in developing an analysis of the issue at hand.

Entrance exam description:
The obligatory admission interviews are free-flowing conversations, lasting about half an hour per applicant, where the admission committee tries to get to know the person behind the many data and details we have on file. The committee attempts to assess the applicants’ fit and judge their future success with the program. In its evaluation, the committee considers three broad categories: prior education/experience and recommendations, motivation letter (explaining why the applicant wants to enroll in this program and how, in the applicant’s view, the program impacts their career), and the committee’s impressions during the interview.

Karrierlehetőségek

The Széchenyi University’s Doctoral Programme in Management (SzEEDSM) is unique in three ways. First and quite surprisingly, as of Fall 2016 it is the first English language PhD programme in Management in Hungary. Second, the programme, in addition to academic rigor, emphasizes practical relevance both by welcoming practitioners to join the programme and by inserting a semester of business immersion into the curriculum. Third, in addition to the traditional management approaches, it also offers a transdisciplinary specialization that emphasizes the importance of using multiple theoretical lenses in developing an analysis of the issue at hand.
