Welcome by the Director of the Ph.D. program

King Saud University’s Ph.D. program in Business Administration is the first program of its kind in the Kingdom and in the whole Arab peninsula. The Ph.D. program takes as inspiration our school's tradition of breaking new ground to launch a distinctive, one-of-its-kind Ph.D. program in Business Administration. United by a passion for generating new knowledge of enduring consequences through scholarly research, inquiry, and writing as well as deeply reflective practice, our Ph.D. graduates will become self-reliant researchers capable of generating original ideas and make contributions to their discipline. Our Ph.D. program in Business Administration is intended to equip graduates with the requisite research skills, to engage and prepare for self-directed lifelong learning, to continue research dissemination, and to cultivate a broad profile for scholarly teaching.
