degree.

There is a distinct difference between the Executive PhD Program and the PhD degree. The program prepares and supports every
PhD candidate in the best way to achieve the required standards for obtaining the PhD degree.

The program is executed by the Antwerp Management School and by the Management Center Innsbruck, while the UAntwerp will
issue the doctoral degree *. In order to align both processes, independent Faculty Doctoral Committees of the University of Antwerp
will formally assess the Executive PhD candidates.

At the end of the first stage of the Executive PhD program (after fifteen months) there will be an evaluation of the candidates prog-
ress and a formal assessment of the various assignments. This formal acceptance by the Faculty Doctoral Committee gives a green
light for establishing the candidates individual doctoral committee and for the candidates start of the actual doctoral research in
stage 2 of the program.

The decision of the faculty will be communicated to the participant by the central student administration at the University of Ant-
werp. This Faculty Doctoral Committee has decision-making powers in the following areas: the organization, quality assurance and
supervision of the PhD program, the decision on admission to the PhD, defining the content of any additional research, training
necessary, the approval of the annual evaluation reports submitted by candidates and doctoral committees verification of whether
PhD students have met the requirements of the doctoral program before submitting their doctoral dissertations.

The Executive PhD program was submitted to the Agency for Quality Assurance and Accreditation Austria (AQ) in accordance with 27 para. 1 and registered by the AQ in
accordance with 27 para. 6 HSQSG. The registration of the program in accordance with 27 para. 6 HS-QSG does not ascertain equivalence with Austrian study programs
and similar Austrian academic degrees. Graduates awarded with an academic degree from Belgium are entitled to use it in accordance with 88 para. 1 of the 2002 law
governing universities. The academic degrees awarded by the Universitt Antwerpen are therefore recognized foreign degrees in Austria and may be used in official documents
in accordance with 88 para. 1a of the 2002 law governing universities.

about the antwerp management school.

The Antwerp Management School is a highly mission driven international business school that helps its customers to create sustain-
able value by shaping talent into becoming Global Citizens, mastering the art of decision-making and leading people.

To accomplish this mission, the Antwerp Management School delivers and develops state-of-the-art management knowledge, an-
chored in a business and organizational context (see Mission House below). It is not about pure knowledge; its about knowledge
that is linked to practice. This is the fundamental basis on which they put three value pillars: self-awareness, global perspective and
societal consciousness, that they believe are needed to become Global Citizens.

S elf-awareness: knowing your own strengths and weaknesses is a true leaders basis for success
A global perspective: an open mind and a global understanding enhance a leaders grip on business issues and results in
better decision-making
S ocietal consciousness: tomorrows leaders need to lead sustainable businesses, conscious of their impact on society

The Antwerp Management School strongly believes that designing higher education programs without all 3 pillars applied or solely
focusing on knowledge transfer alone is preventing you from realizing your full leadership potential. The design philosophy for all
their programs thus starts with this Mission House at the base and they passionately promote responsible management, entre
preneurship, sustainability and leadership.
