The work of doctoral schools shall be organised in such a way as to ensure that the following principles are respected:
- the principle of transparency;
- the principle of accountability;
- the principle of quantitative evaluation of the work of doctoral schools and their members;
- the development of interdisciplinary research leading to highly professional scientific work;
- compliance with the requirements of ethics and professional conduct;
- internationalisation of the activities of the doctoral school.
The following strategic objectives are proposed for the immediate future in the field of doctoral studies:
- developing doctoral schools around interdisciplinary research poles of excellence;
- increasing the international visibility of ASE doctoral schools;
- creating a favourable framework for attracting new sources of funding for the activities carried out by the university’s doctoral schools.
Currently, the 10 PhD programmes are managed by 11 doctoral schools organised at faculty level within the university. Doctoral activity in the doctoral schools is coordinated by the Council for Doctoral Studies (CSUD) http://doctorat.ase.ro. Doctoral studies are carried out on a full-time and part-time basis, in Romanian or in an international language (English, German, French).
The doctoral schools are distinguished by a diversified and dynamic offer of doctoral research topics, defined on the basis of the research project objectives of each of the 939 PhD students from Romania, but also from other countries (Germany, USA, UK, Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Tunisia, etc.), in connection with the latest approaches in the field and the demands generated by the evolution of the global economy.
