Do you want to deepen your understanding of how management is practiced? Are you willing to inspire new thinking through teaching and research? And have an impact on management policies?

During the second year of the Doctoral Programme (Master of Philosophy 1 (MPhil 1) ), students develop more deeply their research ideas, theoretical models, methodology, and research protocol, while working closely with their academic advisors. From this year, most students also gain pedagogical experience by tutoring /teaching courses at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels. In addition, financial support for conferences and research visits ensures that students can progress under excellent conditions and fully integrate international research networks in their field. At the end of the second year students present their current PhD plans and progress to date in front of a panel of academic committee; Years 3 (MPhil 2) and 4 (MPhil 3) of the Doctoral Programme are dedicated to original research and developing a PhD dissertation. Some students require an additional fifth year to finish the PhD dissertation, in which case a part-time teaching contract is generally signed with the University of Toulouse Capitole (ATER contract).

Student testimonial

I would greatly encourage students from Lebanon (and comparable cultures) to attend TSM. Lebanon has a strong community culture. We like spending time with our family and friends, and we prefer to live in embracing environments. However, adequate education is highly valued in the Lebanese society. The combination of a top-notch TSM education and the atmosphere in Toulouse makes for an ideal study abroad experience. Put simply, it is easy to develop a sense of belonging here, which will definitely help you stay motivated throughout your pursuit!
