Doctoral study programme
The Faculty of Business and Economics has a specific doctoral study programme, which is integrated in the competence profile of the Antwerp Doctoral School. The study programme is flexible and individual. Only discipline specific activities are recognized.
Progress and Evaluation proces
Each year, before 1 May, the PhD student submits a progress report to his/her individual PhD commission. The PhD student will report on both the research progress and the progress in the doctoral study programme through SISA.

The individual PhD commission discusses the PhD student's file within six weeks after the submission of this report. The student will invite all members of the individual PhD commission for a personal interview. The evaluation will be available in the PhD student's selfservice in SisA after the evaluation deadline.
The activities in the doctoral study programme will be checked by the doctoral administration. Handing in both progress reports is mandatory.
