Application Process
Applications submitted to the Recanati Business School’s Doctoral Program Secretariat should include:
- An application form, including the area or areas of specialization requested. Applicants may be considered even if they have not yet chosen an area of specialization.
- The names of at least three academic providers of references. If the applicant’s academic record includes a thesis, the thesis supervisor will be one of the reference providers. Additional names of reference providers who are not academics may also be given.
- Transcripts of all previous academic studies, including grades and entitlements.
- GMAT scores
- A short essay (one page) on the motivation and aims of the applicant, as well as the significance of a doctoral degree for the applicant.
- Any additional material that the applicant feels will help the Doctoral Committee in its deliberations.
Doctoral Program Application Form
Recommendations The candidates will approach the providers of references, supplying them with reference forms given by the Doctoral Program Secretariat. Each completed form will be returned in a sealed envelope to the Doctoral Program Secretariat. The Doctoral Program Committee will consider an application only after receipt of all the references.
The PhD Supervisor Registration for the doctoral program is dependent upon the applicant obtaining the agreement of an authorized Recanati faculty member, who must be at least a senior lecturer, to serve as a dissertation supervisor. In special cases, the Recanati Doctoral Program Committee will have the authority to allow the appointment of a supervisor who does not meet the above requirements, provided the appointment is authorized by the Tel Aviv University Doctoral Program Committee.
The Department's Approval The position of the candidate's intended department will be an important factor in the decision of the Doctoral Program Committee. New doctoral candidates will be accepted subject to the number of active doctoral candidates in each department, relative to the number of potential supervisors. Each semester, each department will present to the Recanati Business School’s Doctoral Program Committee its position on accepting new candidates during that semester, together with details of the current candidates and their supervisors.
