    Hi

    I am looking for a PhD/ DBA / Doctorate in Europe. I just need to complete the Education (Level 8 of the EU Qualification Frameworks) and get the Dr. Title.

    The Doctorate has to be:

    1. Recognized in the EU (private or public Universities recognized by the local governments)
    2. 1-3 Years
    3. Possible Full Online / Distance Learning
    4. Cheap and Uncomplicated

    Fields:
    Business
    Management
    Marketing
    etc.

    Looking forward to hearing your suggestions.

    Here we go again, show me a fast, cheap, uncomplicated (which I understand as "easy") and fully online PhD program that is recognized (At least you did not include "That would allow me to apply for a tenure track position in the US at a research University"). I haven't come across such as a find in my 13 years in this board.

    European doctorates are 3 to 4 years full time or 5 to 8 years part time. So the 1 to 3 years is out of the question unless you are planning to register full time.
    Fully online is also out of the question, European doctorates require a viva defense which would require at least one visit to the University. However, most Universities would require at least one trip a year even for distance students.

    The cheap aspect is only the case if you are a European citizen, otherwise you would be required to pay international fees (makes sense as you are not paying taxes in Europe). Some schools do allow you to pay reduced fees but this applies to mainly on Campus students doing a full time PhD.

    Be ready to spend at least 50K Euros and about 6 years part time with few trips for a credible doctorate.
