The PhD by Research Publication program, offered in partnership with an AACSB-accredited Swiss Business School, is designed for senior professionals like you

Unlike a traditional 3–5-year PhD, this route allows you to submit your existing and new research articles for a doctorate in a compact 6-month timeline.

What is a PhD by Research Publication?

This is a legitimate, accelerated pathway to a full PhD designed for experienced professionals. Instead of sitting in classrooms, your doctoral submission is a cohesive body of published work coupled with a critical analysis.

You need to publish three high-quality research articles in international journals and compile a synthesizing Research Report of 50 Pages (~12,500 words). FiveVidya acts as your complete research and publication concierge.

This is an earned, accredited research degree that proves your intellectual contribution to your field.

Why This Program? The FiveVidya Advantage

We bridge the gap between your ambition and the stringent requirements of a Swiss AACSB school.

The "Triple-A" Accreditation

AACSB is the gold standard in business education, held by less than 6% of business schools globally (Harvard, INSEAD, etc.). Your degree carries that same stamp of excellence.

Velocity to Completion

Traditional PhDs take years. Our structured process from research initiation to degree conferral is compressed into a sharp 6-month timeline.

Complete Publishing Support

You don't have to wrestle with journal rejections alone. FiveVidya supports the development and publication of your 3 required research articles in Scopus-indexed or peer-reviewed international journals.

Comprehensive Thesis Guidance

Beyond the 3 papers, we help you craft the mandatory 50-page Research Report (~12,500 words) that critically links your publications into a unified doctoral thesis.

Zero Career Interruption

The program is entirely research-based and remote, built to fit the schedule of a working executive. No classes, no campus visits required.

Expert Research Mentors

Whether you have a rough draft, raw data, or just a concept, our research experts collaborate with you for ghost-writing assistance, statistical analysis, and editing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. You earn a full "Doctor of Philosophy" (PhD) or equivalent degree from an accredited Swiss private business school. The school holds AACSB accreditation, which is the most rigorous global standard for business schools. The degree is issued by the Swiss institution and is a testament to your original research contribution.
No. The transcript and degree certificate are identical to those awarded to traditional PhD students. It does not mention the mode of study or that it was a "publication" route. It is a standard PhD in your specialization (e.g., PhD in Management).
The Swiss school requires that the three articles form a cohesive body of work around a central theme in your domain. They must be:
  • Published or accepted for publication in international, peer-reviewed journals
  • Thematically linked (not three completely disparate topics)
  • Demonstrably completed within your candidature period
FiveVidya ensures that the journals selected meet the academic threshold set by the Swiss school.
Yes, it serves as the integrative component of your submission. Unlike a traditional 200-page thesis, this is a concise 50-page (~12,500 words) document that sits "over" your three published papers. It includes:
  • An introduction stating your overall research aim
  • A comprehensive literature review that contextualizes the three papers
  • A critical discussion chapter linking findings and demonstrating original contribution
  • A conclusion and future research direction
FiveVidya provides full guidance and editing support to compile this report.
Yes. This is our core value proposition. Whether you have a rough draft, raw data from your organization, or just a concept, our research experts can collaborate with you. We provide ghost-writing assistance, statistical analysis, and editing to ensure the paper is submission-ready, strictly following ethical publishing guidelines.
Six months is realistic if you dedicate roughly 10–12 hours a week and respond to mentor feedback promptly. The critical path is the journal review cycle. We select journals with faster review timelines. However, if a reviewer demands major revisions and time runs over, we support you until acceptance. The standard candidature period allows for a buffer, but we push for completion in 6 months.
Extremely. AACSB is the Gold Standard in business education. If you ever plan to teach at a university, consult for MNCs, or migrate to countries with strict credential evaluation, having an AACSB-accredited degree instantly validates the quality of your doctorate. Many "fast-track" PhDs lack any tier-1 accreditation this program does not.
The ₹3.4 Lacs + GST (USD 3,750) covers the Institute Fee only. This goes toward your enrollment, Swiss school administration, supervisor costs, and graduation. The Research Work Cost is a separate component that covers FiveVidya's support in writing, editing, getting your 3 papers published, and compiling the 50-page Research Report. We provide a detailed breakdown of the research cost based on your specific topic.
Yes. The program is designed for senior industry professionals (typically 10+ years of work experience). While prior publications help, they are not mandatory. If you have deep domain knowledge but no academic writing experience, the "Research Work Cost" component with FiveVidya becomes essential to help you convert your tacit knowledge into publishable papers.
The Viva Voce is conducted online via video conferencing with a panel of 2–3 examiners from the Swiss school. It typically lasts 45–90 minutes. You will defend your 50-page Research Report and the underlying 3 publications. FiveVidya provides rigorous mock defense training before the final session.
The Viva is not an interrogation it is a scholarly discussion. The panel wants to confirm ownership of the work and depth of understanding. Questions generally fall into these categories:
  • The "Golden Thread" Questions: "How do these three distinct papers form a single, coherent contribution to knowledge? What is the overarching theme that binds them?"
  • Contribution to Knowledge: "What is the single most important original insight from your body of work that was not known before? Who benefits most from this finding?"
  • Methodology Defense: "Why did you choose this specific research method in Paper 2? What were its limitations, and how did you mitigate them?"
  • Reflection on the Journey: "If you were to start this research again today, what would you do differently? How has your thinking evolved since Paper 1 was published?"
  • Impact and Application: "How would you apply these findings to solve a real-world industry problem in the next 5 years?"
Our mock Viva sessions are built around these exact archetypes to ensure you are fully prepared.
Yes. Once the degree is conferred, you can legitimately use the title "Dr." professionally and socially. For government document updates (like passports), the protocol varies by country, but the university provides the necessary apostilled documents and transcripts required by government authorities.
