The student develops and consolidates during the process of completing the thesis the generic and specific competences necessary to become a professional capable of carrying out quality research work, in an ethical and independent manner, in business management. These tasks will be carried out mainly in universities and research centres, whether public or private. |

| Specific requirements and criteria for admission to the doctoral program and applicant merit rating |
The Academic Committee has set the following specific admission requirements for the standard admission pathways:
1. Candidates must hold one of the following qualifications:
a) A university master's degree in Business Research from the UB or a university master's degree in Financial and Actuarial Sciences. In this latter case, the student must have taken the specialization in Advanced Actuarial and Financial Models.
b) A master's degree issued by a higher education institution in the European Higher Education Area, of the same academic level and offering equivalent research training to the master's degrees indicated above, at the discretion of the Academic Committee. Candidates who obtained the advanced studies diploma (Diploma de Estudios Avanzados, DEA) as part of the UB's doctoral programme in Business Studies and the university master's degree in Research in Business, Finance and Insurance, taught at the Faculty of Economics and Business from 2007-2008 to 2011-2012, will receive the same consideration.
c) A qualification issued by an education system outside the European Higher Education Area, which shows that the holder has a level of education equivalent to the university master's degree in Business Research

| Salidas profesionales |
The PhD in Business at the University of Barcelona is specifically aimed at students who want to embark on an international career in research. After successfully completing the programme, new PhDs will be able to work as researchers or lecturers in universities, business schools or research centres. However, the academic field is not the only professional outlet for our students: the PhD in Business also allows them to work in areas such as consultancy.
Statistics show that, at present, doctoral studies make it easier for students to enter the labour market. Moreover, PhDs can aspire to a higher salary level. According to data from the Agency for Quality Assurance in the Catalan University System (AQU), 95% of PhDs in the social sciences have entered the labour market within three years of completing their theses, and their unemployment rate is only 3%. |
