1. Academic Career, National and International
Thanks to the methodological expertise and solid theoretical foundation acquired, many PhD graduates from Tor Vergata have secured post-doctoral and research positions at top universities, both in Italy and abroad.
They often start as junior researchers in Departments of Business Administration or Management, and later advance to tenured positions, publishing in top-tier international journals, and coordinating projects funded by European institutions.
This path demonstrates how our program shapes ideal profiles for a high-level academic career.
2. Management and Strategic Consulting
An analytical approach and the ability to apply theoretical models to practical problems make PhD graduates highly valued by consulting firms.
They often join advisory teams as senior consultants, leading projects such as:
- Corporate restructuring projects
- Digital transformation plans
- Investment evaluations
Their academic background enables complex analyses, including:
- Feasibility studies for acquisitions
- Implementation of performance management systems
Delivering reliable and innovative results.
3. Leadership in Companies, Public Administrations, and International Organizations
A third career path sees our PhD graduates holding senior positions in private companies, government agencies, and international institutions.
They take on roles in middle or top management, lead cross-functional teams, manage governance processes, and contribute to organizational reforms.
For those already working in the public sector, the PhD becomes a catalyst for career advancement, offering opportunities to engage in the design of public policies and the development of institutional programs.
