Introduction

Do you want to deepen your understanding of how management is practiced?

Are you willing to inspire new thinking through teaching and research?

And make an impact on management policies?

Toulouse School of Management offers an intensive Doctoral Programme for individuals interested in conducting independent research. Our Programme combines the best of theory, practice, and research methods with scholarly integrity. The courses are accompanied by research practice. Graduates pursue careers in leading universities and business schools, policy-oriented institutions, and private firms.

An EFMD-accredited Programme

Since 2020, The Doctoral Programme is EFMD accredited for a maximum of 5 years; It is one of the few doctoral level programmes in the world to be EFMD accredited. This international accreditation delivered by the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD) certifies the high quality of the TSM Doctoral Programme.

It highlights the TSM academic rigor and excellence, employability, internationalization, and research that underpins the Programme. The continuous improvement that this accreditation requires means that you will benefit from international partnerships, and more opportunities to foster your research skills and network.

What to expect?

The TSM Doctoral Programme offers five in-depth fields of study, for a curriculum of unusual richness and breadth. Since the program 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.
