The new Doctoral School has started at NEOMA

Posted date: 16 Nov 2020

The 14 students of the new cohort of the Doctoral School began their academic year in mid-October. They join the PhD in Management, with aim of accessing posts as professors and researchers or joining the research centres of large companies.

The new NEOMA PhD students will work on their research project over a period of three years. This experience aims to prepare them to identify, analyse and resolve major managerial matters within organisations. They will be supported throughout their course by several experienced professors with high-level research profiles.

In the first year, the students take several intensive courses in English covering fundamental theories and research methods. Research professors are in charge of their training as well as the supervision of the research projects they will work on over the three years of the programme. The start of the year is an opportunity to meet and discuss face-to-face.
By virtue of its international aspect, NEOMA attracts large numbers of international students to its PhD programme. This training, so popular throughout the world and especially in America, is one of the highest qualifications offered by the Grandes Ecoles. This year there are 14 students with a variety of profiles and from different countries, and this is the largest cohort since the programme began in 2016, despite the world health crisis.

In 2018, NEOMA signed a partnership agreement with URCA with the aim of bringing together the skills and expertise of both institutions, which was particularly useful in allowing the doctoral students of NEOMA Business School to gain European recognition. They can now join the programme of the doctoral School in Human and Social Sciences (SHS) at URCA, and are then awarded a double degree: the PhD in Management from NEOMA and the State Doctorate from URCA.
