The program can be completed in +18 months. There is a minimum study duration, while students have the flexibility to extend their study period according to their personal circumstances, professional commitments, and research progress.

The program structure includes seven modules: four research-related modules, two general academic and professional development modules, and one field-specific module in Economics and Data Analytics. In addition, students complete a thesis and research activities as part of the full study requirements.

This doctorate study program is especially relevant for learners interested in economic research, applied economics, data analytics, policy evaluation, market intelligence, financial trends, business analytics, quantitative analysis, and research-based decision-making.
