Econ.), as well as doctoral candidates who have received the right to pursue a Doctorate in Economics and Business Administration (D.Sc. Econ.) without previously completing a Master’s degree in Economics and Business Administration (M.Sc. Econ.) are also eligible to join as soon as they have accepted their study place.
