What to expect?

TSM Doctoral Programme offers five in-depth fields of study, for a curriculum of unusual richness and breadth. Since the programme enrolls only 10 to 20 new Ph.D. students each year, doctoral students thrive in an atmosphere of intellectual rigor and creative collaboration among students and faculty.

To follow international best practices, research at Toulouse School of Management begins in the second year of the Master, with a dedicated research programme, and during two years, the curriculum of the doctoral programme emphasizes four essential areas of training for doctoral students:

  • research tools and methodology
  • in-depth study of their research field skills to conduct independent research leading to high-level publications
  • career development

Benefits:

  • engage with internationally renowned scholars
  • conference and research funding
  • robust training in conducting original and independent research

Opportunities:

  • grant for international visiting positions
  • close supervision by international, research driven, renowned faculty
  • a vibrant European city
