The Project Management PhD Doctoral Program is aimed at meeting the needs of Kazakhstani project management science for economic sectors. While studying in the Project Management Program, doctoral students gain applied knowledge on the specifics of research in project management and study the entire life cycle, specific features and structure of the project. The Project Management Program meets the general standards set by the PMI Institute. It is aimed at masters of scientific and pedagogical direction in the field of project management, management, finance, economics, management, and information technology, who already have a certain scientific profile, and are actively engaged in scientific research, and also have a desire to teach at universities.
Representatives of other specialties can also be enrolled in this program, but in the case of having master's degrees in non-economic educational programs, the admitted doctoral students will have to master the mandatory component of theoretical courses in the Project Management direction of the master's program. For each such case, an individual trajectory for mastering the theoretical part of the mandatory component of the scientific and pedagogical master's degree in the field of "Project Management" is formed.
Training in the "Project Management" Program is carried out on a modular basis within 6 semesters. The theoretical part takes up the first 2 semesters, or 1 year of study within the program, and amounts to 25 ECTS, 10 ECTS of which are for mandatory courses such as "Academic Writing" and "Research Methods". They form the university component of the program. The remaining 15 ECTS are taken in the form of 3 elective courses on the specifics of the "Project Management" Program. Considering that the program is aimed at achieving primarily research goals, most of the time is taken up by the doctoral student's research work (DRW). In the 2nd year of study, in the autumn semester, pedagogical practice is provided, which can be completed by a doctoral student on the basis of the Master's program "Project Management". When studying in the Project Management Program, the main emphasis is on achieving research goals, that is, writing a doctoral dissertation and relevant scientific articles, in accordance with the requirements of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education, imposed in Kazakhstan on the implementation of the PhD doctoral program. An important element of training in the program is the doctoral student's commitment to conducting scientific research. Participation in scientific projects, both Grant funding of the Science Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan and other donor organizations, including projects of foreign partner universities, is encouraged.
The doctoral student is assigned a domestic scientific supervisor and a foreign scientific consultant according to the profile and topic of his doctoral dissertation. The doctoral dissertation and published articles must be within the framework of one scientific direction and include the topic considered by the doctoral student. During the course of training in the program, the doctoral student must visit the partner university at least once, to his foreign scientific consultant.
It is advisable to complete writing the dissertation and scientific articles within the allotted 3 academic years. However, defense is also allowed after the completion of the specified 3 years. This right must be verified with the Requirements of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan, imposed in Kazakhstan on the implementation and defense of a doctoral dissertation PhD.
