Application to Ph.D. & the research course during the second year of Master
IAE Montpellier offers a research course in each of its Masters degrees.
Our institution has a financing package to support doctoral students in achieving their studies.
Any holder of a Master's degree, or equivalent, providing evidence of having completed a specific training in management research, may submit an application to a doctorate. The admission to the Doctoral School and the allocation of funding is determined by the Doctoral School committee after consideration of applications and candidates interviews. After completion of a Master's degree, research is performed on a specific topic under the supervision of a research supervisor. This doctorate is completed within the MRM research laboratory - Montpellier Research in Management. The Ph.D. provides access to careers in Higher Education and Research but also for careers in consulting and more generally careers where reflection is predominant.
The Ph.D. in Management Science is divided into various areas of research: Accounting, Finance, Human resources, Information systems, Marketing and Strategy.
Financing
Many modes of funding dedicated to Ph.D. studies are available: research grants, teaching and research assistants grants (ATER), CIFRE contracts signed with a company on specific projects, for example via the National Research Agency (ANR) .
