Research In Management - Master's Year 2

Responsable pédagogique : LIONEL GARREAU - https://dauphine.psl.eu/recherche/cvtheque/garreau-lionel

Crédits ECTS : 60

Les objectifs de la formation

In the 2nd year, a coordinated dual master’s curriculum allows students to continue their training in our program while specializing by joining one of our seven associated master’s tracks.

Graduates thus receive both master’s degrees and can either enter a doctoral program to pursue a research-oriented career in academia or join the business world in sectors where research-based competencies are valued, such as consulting.

Program objectives :

Modalités d'enseignement

In the second year, a dual-master’s degree enrollment allows students to specialize by joining one of our seven associated master’s tracks while continuing their training in our program. The seven associated Master tracks are:

Students enroll in the research or initial training tracks of these programs and benefit from a coordinated dual master’s curriculum that allows them to complete both degrees during the academic year.
 
As part of the program, students come together at various times throughout the year for intensive seminars to advance their research training (Research Design, Qualitative Methods, Quantitative Methods).

They also benefit from a wide selection of interdisciplinary courses offered during the PSL weeks, allowing them to personalize their academic path. Additionally, all students design and produce a research thesis.

The specifics of the program and teaching methods then depend on the chosen specialization.
 
This is a full-time, intensive training year (September to June). Depending on individual student projects and the chosen specialization, research or organizational internships may be arranged, typically starting at the end of April.

Students who are not fluent in French should be aware that second-year specializations are often at least partially taught in French, and their admission will depend on their ability to achieve the required level of French.
