Abstract
Doctoral schools play a key role in training the next generation of researchers and renewing higher education. This study presents the operation, development directions, and international embeddedness of the Doctoral School of Business and Management Sciences at the University of Debrecen. It provides an overview of trends in student enrollment and degree completion, as well as the multidisciplinary and international character of the doctoral program. Special attention is given to the 2025 International Scientific Days conference, where 118 scientific presentations were delivered on topics such as digitalization, sustainability, and artificial intelligence. The study also highlights the significant growth in the doctoral school's publication performance, particularly in terms of internationally indexed, high-ranking academic journal articles.
