The part-time Executive PhD programme in Private Sector Development (preferably for Emerging Economies) allows working professionals and researchers with full-time or part-time jobs to combine their careers with obtaining a PhD. The programme provides advanced training in the theory and skills crucial to private sector development, design and research.

During the programme, you will benefit from the extensive knowledge and expertise of the key lecturers and supervisors in the programme, who are leading scholars in the fields of the research themes.

Research focus
Within the Executive PhD programme, the PhD candidate’s research focus should lie on one of the MSM research themes. MSM’s research themes all relate to private sector development and local economic development. In addition, as part of the SAIL platform, we specifically (but not only) focus on issues related to management in the Global South including countries of different levels of development. SAIL is the platform in which internationally oriented organisations in the Netherlands, focusing on international higher education, organize their research and education.
