International PhD Partners

• ESCP Europe

ESCP Europe is both a high-level school of management with international scope and a large-scale European institution. It was founded in Paris in 1819 and, since then, has educated generations of leaders, contributing to the fine reputation it enjoys today.

The Ph.D. program of ESCP Europe aims at preparing researching professors for high-level management academic institutions. Its core values are based on an active participation of the students in their training as well as on a personalized student track, consisting of courses on methodological approach to research as well as a teacher-training seminar through direct involvements in diverse ESCP Europe programs, which all add up to 300 hours of courses. Students are closely linked to the researching and teaching activities of the faculty members and are given three years to fully conduct their personal research project. The program also benefits from exchanges during frequent workshops and internal resources (ESCP Europe programs) or external resources (external teachings and seminars, both nationally and internationally).
