The AIB-CIBER Certificate in International Business is a unique professional development program that will supplement doctoral studies within the home university.

The AIB-CIBER Doctoral Academy provides training by world-class scholars in international business through in-person and online modules and workshops. The Certificate includes modules and workshops on both research content and methods as well as best teaching practices in IB. Select fellowships will be available to help defray the registration fees.
