This doctorate study program is designed for professionals and researchers who wish to explore the growing relationship between artificial intelligence and international business at an advanced academic level. It is a 100% research-based program that supports high-level inquiry into how AI is influencing global trade, cross-border strategy, decision-making, digital transformation, market intelligence, innovation, and the future of international organizations.

The program is academically positioned at a level comparable to ISCED and EQF level 8. ISCED stands for the International Standard Classification of Education, a global framework used to compare education levels across countries. EQF stands for the European Qualifications Framework, which helps explain learning levels within Europe by focusing on knowledge, skills, and competence. Level 8 represents the most advanced stage of academic study, associated with original research, critical analysis, and the creation of new knowledge. This doctorate study program is also aligned with the 3rd European cycle.

The structure of the program is research intensive and academically focused. It includes 7 modules in total: 4 research-related modules, 2 general modules, and 1 module specifically related to Artificial Intelligence for International Business, followed by thesis and research activities. This structure is intended to help participants strengthen their research capacity, develop advanced analytical thinking, and produce meaningful academic and professional contributions in a rapidly evolving field.

The study duration is +18 months as a minimum period. At the same time, the program offers flexibility, allowing students to extend their study period according to their professional responsibilities, personal schedule, and research progress. This makes the program suitable for learners who seek a rigorous yet adaptable academic pathway.

Artificial Intelligence for International Business is an important and forward-looking area of study. Organizations operating across borders increasingly rely on AI for forecasting, automation, customer insights, data analysis, strategic planning, logistics, risk management, and competitive advantage. This doctorate study program is therefore suitable for individuals who aim to investigate advanced topics in global business through research and critical academic exploration, while contributing to the understanding of how intelligent systems are reshaping international business environments.

Through its research-based approach, this doctorate study program encourages independent investigation, academic depth, and the development of advanced expertise in one of the most relevant interdisciplinary fields of modern business studies.
