Programs Director’s Message

Professor Kwaku Atuahene-Gima

Program Director, Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Degree Programs

NiBS, while still quite young, has already established a stellar international reputation as a world-class university, with demonstrated excellence in a number of essential doctoral disciplines. Our faculty, with diverse backgrounds in Marketing, Finance, Innovation, Management, Leadership, Human Resource Management (HRM), Organizational Behavior, Economics, and Entrepreneurship among others is recognized as an outstanding body of scholars.This unique and timely program is possible because we do not have the traditional mindset of playing ‘god’ with thesis supervision – a common ‘migraine’ and ‘night-mare’ for doctoral students. One key aspect of a PhD is developing a lifelong bond between the thesis supervisor and the student. At NiBS, students work hand-in-hand with their supervisors to produce world-class research. 

Above all, students receive utmost support from thesis supervisors who are always available to help. NiBS also offers candidates the tools and knowledge required to make vital contributions to their fields of study. As a PhD student at NiBS, your research will advance knowledge in your chosen field.

We look forward to seeing you in the program!

Best wishes.
