Doctoral students have at least one residential module at Ashridge with no more than three residential modules on our other buzzing downtown campuses in the US, UAE, and UK.

Your faculty, supervisor and specialized coaches for academic writing and research methodology will guide you to achieve your career ambitions.
“I started my doctorate in April 2011 against the backdrop of the Arab Spring in Egypt. My dissertation was on the role of business in society: creating space to live the question within the paradox of change.
Doing a doctorate was something I had always wanted to do to “complete” my education, but life happened! I needed a program that would accommodate my busy professional and family obligations. I wanted to validate what I know and open up more options in my career. This part time professional doctorate was a perfect fit. The biggest attraction was the structure and schedule of the program.
The Hult doctorate gave me confidence in myself and opened up a whole new world of teaching, research and professional career opportunities.”
