Our doctoral program is an international PhD Programme within the Doctoral School in Law, Economics, and Management of the Université Paris-Saclay.

Our PhD students are highly selected (see PhD admission details) and trained intensively, as they follow about 100 hours of advanced lectures providing them with theoretical and empirical backgrounds for conducting high-level quality research during their PhD thesis. They benefit from the supervision of a RITM Faculty member and from the yearly follow-up of a PhD committee composed of another RITM member and one external specialized researcher.

We prepare our PhD students in Economics and Management Sciences to enter the academic job market or to become non-academics likely to occupy leading positions in international organizations, public administration, or the private sector.
