These include, among other things, a corresponding degree in an area of business and social science, with at least 50 ECTS credits in economics and social sciences, but up to 20 ECTS credits can also be accredited from other disciplines of relevance for the topic of the doctoral degree. If you do not fulfill all criteria, your application for admission can still be reviewed by the Office of Doctoral Affairs and admission can be granted under certain conditions.
