Also, an application must include a document that details that the PhD applicant fulfils the following requirements:
????3-year 180 ECTS bachelor’s degree; and
????2-year 120 ECTS master’s degree with a 30 ECTS master’s degree dissertation with a grade of minimum 10 (following CBS’s 7-point scale; the grade 10 on this 7-point scale is equal to 10/12 = 83.3% out of a maximum of 100%).
The document must also explain how the PhD applicant has attained the following graduate point average (GPA) score:
????Either: a combined GPA of 8.2 on CBS’ 7-point scale (i.e., 8.2/12 = 68.3%). You combine your bachelor’s GPA and master’s GPA by applying the following calculation: (180 x Bachelor’s GPA + 120 x Master’s GPA) / 300.
????Or: GPA of 9.5 (on CBS’s 7-point scale) in your master’s degree (corresponding to 9.5/12 = 79.2%).
This document (that details how the PhD applicant fulfils the requirements) should include a detailed overview of each of the PhD applicant’s course grades (bachelor’s and master’s degrees) including a detailed overview in an Excel table that translates each course grade into % (following CBS’ 7-point scale). For example, if you have a grading system of 1-5 (with for example 5 being the highest), and you get 4.5 in a course, then you convert the grade to % as follows: 4.5/5 = 90%.
Proposed PhD project description:
????The name of the PhD candidate.
????Title of proposed PhD project in the area of sales inter-cultural encounters.?
????Abstract of proposed PhD project (maximum 100 words).

????Research approach/method;
????Literature references;
????Tentative time plan;
????Expected scientific output of the research project (including tentative journal outlets);
????Societal and scientific relevance of research project.
Please note that we request the above in order to test for PhD applicants’ interest in and capability of undertaking high-quality research. The actual research that the successful PhD student eventually will undertake depends on the supervisors.
A committee of marketing faculty will assess received PhD applications. Following this assessment, the PhD applicant is selected for an interview.
