A PhD in Media and Communication Science is not only an acknowledgment of a scientific qualification, but also an assessment of the professional ability and achievement of the degree holder. In many parts of the world, a doctoral degree is not only an element of prestige, but also an unwritten and even written need for senior management candidates.
