Programme

SMC´s Online Programs are leading solutions in business education and management development. We have a firm belief that our students are formed as much by our curriculum and guidance as they are from their previous personal, educational, and professional experiences.

Our role is to help bring it all together and allow them to shine. We believe that our Distance Learning Programs fill a unique niche in the academic arena, providing quality education with thought leading curricula in as many locations as we have students! No longer must high potentials give up their jobs, homes or families for extended periods of time in the pursuit of bettering themselves.

The Doctorate of Finance provides an in-depth study of the strategic financial issues in today's economy and provides a solid base for conducting comprehensive research in the field. The modules created and the issues raised typically have both a theoretical, mathematical and business application.

Target audience

The Doctorate of Finance is ideal for individuals with very strong financial background and previous financial education who wish to excel in this very dynamic field.

It is also aimed at individuals wishing to give their career an academic direction, thus entering the fields of applied research, financial consulting and lecturing in the field of finance.

Emphases/Curriculum

Program Design

The Distance Learning Doctoral programs of SMC consist of an obligatory Core Courses Stage. Its successful completion leads to the Specialization Courses related to the program of enrollment. Doctoral students subsequently continue with their individual Dissertation Stage, which consists of research and preparation of a dissertation. Hence, the program is divided into three main stages whereas students may only pursue subjects within their current stage.

Distance learning students may take a maximum of 4 years to complete the program. Upon completion of all subjects and the dissertation, students are required to pass a Final Grand Exam and defend their Dissertation vis-à-vis the Defense Committee. The Final Grand Exam covers topics from all subjects of study.
