Overview
The Philosophy (Business) PhD degree from Sunway University enables students to utilise the best-suited research design to explore and/or test informed ideas. The outcome of the research extends the frontiers of knowledge, and students will disseminate the scholarly findings to peers and practitioners, through academic and professional networks, conferences/seminars and even publications.
Students will be a part of a team of leading international scholars who actively promote scientific, technological, social and cultural progress while shaping business, legal and societal boundaries. By the end of the research study, our graduates would have developed expertise in their chosen field and be well-equipped with the necessary knowledge, skills and personal attributes to carry out independent research.
