In addition to its international bachelor and masters' programmes in the International Partnership of Business Schools (IPBS), ESB will in future also be offering a PhD programme together with the Italian university. Subjects covered in the programme will include Entrepreneurship, Intercultural Management, Macroeconomics, and Innovation Management.

Applicants will be selected jointly by UCSC and ESB Reutlingen. Theses presented by Reutlingen doctoral candidates will be supervised and assessed by professors from USCS and ESB. Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Baumeister and Prof. Dr. Stefan Seiter will be responsible for this programme at ESB.
The first steps have already been taken. ESB professor Dr. Jürgen Roth is supervising the doctoral studies of ESB graduate Simon Fauser, an academic assistant at the ESB Research Institue, on the subject of Regional Labour Markets.
