Overview

Doing a Ph.D. is a great intellectual journey, and the foundation of a professional trajectory. We have developed a four-year programme that is demanding but helps each student to reach international standards of research quality.

Features

Our Paris Doctoral Programme at ESCP Business School offers a great environment to do your Ph.D. Our Ph.D. students are provided not only with the indispensable academic and financial guidance but also with social and moral support. This supportive environment is a cornerstone for their academic identity.

Programme Structure

Curriculum:

Doing the Ph.D. programme gives an opportunity to invest in one of the five specialisation tracks. The students will explore several methodological perspectives. In addition, we also foster transversal initiatives across knowledge fields and methodologies. We value exchanges with PhD students from our Berlin campus and we actively support international exposure of research activities.

If research is sometimes considered as an individual, even solitary, activity, at ESCP the students will be part of a research community encompassing our six European campuses.
