Since 2018, the Eastern and Southern African Management Institute (ESAMI) is offering doctoral programs of the Swiss School of Management in Africa. Programs are partially funded through attractive scholarship programs.

Candidates can opt for the Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) or the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) program. The programs make use of distance learning, and are based on part-time studies. Our doctoral programs have three parts: coursework (the equivalent of 6 months, offered in continuous workshops), research lab (data collection and analysis, approximately 2 years), and write-up and defense (6 months).

Webinars and workshops are delivered monthly through life-streams, and recordings are made available via our Learning Management System (LMS). Candidates can access the EBSCO e-Library, for journal articles, e-books, data and much more. Internationally experienced and dedicated supervisors support the candidates on their academic journeys.
