The PhD in Human Resources Management at Dongbei University of Finance and Economics (DUFE) in Dalian, China is a full‑time, research‑oriented doctoral programme designed to train scholars with deep expertise in the theory and practice of managing people and work in organisations. This PhD is one of the doctoral majors offered in English to international students at DUFE, meaning eligible applicants can study and research in English if they meet language proficiency requirements (such as IELTS/TOEFL), alongside other international doctoral offerings like Finance, Accounting, Marketing and E‑Commerce.

Typically lasting about 3 years, the programme requires applicants to hold a relevant master’s degree, strong academic records and supporting materials like recommendation letters and a research proposal. It combines rigorous research training with advanced study of human resource theories and practices, equipping students to explore areas such as recruitment and selection, training and development, performance and compensation systems, organisational behaviour, labour relations and strategic international HRM through independent research and dissertation work.
