Key Summary
About: The Ph.D. in Economics at The University of Kragujevac builds on the institution’s origins as the Lyceum of Serbia (established 1 July 1838; first rector Atanasije Nikolic). The doctoral programme advances macroeconomics, business management, accounting, and business finance. It trains students to conduct original, individual, and practice-relevant research, deepen theoretical, methodological, and applicative skills, and develop critical evaluation of others’ work. Students learn to conceptualize and solve contemporary economic and business problems and to develop and defend doctoral theses.
Career Outcomes: Graduates can pursue roles as academic researchers, university lecturers, policy analysts, economic consultants, senior economists, or think-tank researchers.
This study programme aims to contribute to further development of scientific areas of macroeconomics, business management, accounting, and business finances. Within the doctoral study programme in Economics, we aim at contributing to enabling students to conduct individual and original scientific and practically relevant research of phenomena and problems in macroeconomics, business economics and management. In this way, we endorse critical thinking development by deepening and enriching their overall theoretical, methodological, and applicative skills. By gaining specific knowledge, students are enabled to critically evaluate others' scientific work and apply critically complementary scientific tools and instruments to conduct arguments and practically validated research.
Students are enabled to conceptualize and creatively solve theoretically, individually and practically relevant contemporary economic science and practice problems through valid conceptualization, development, and defence of their doctoral theses.
