PhD Proposal / Internship

ECTS : 6

Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

  At the start of Semester 2, the student is asked to choose between two options: PhD project or internship. There is no hours in class dedicated to this course. 

- If the PhD project option is chosen, the student must write a well-structured PhD proposal that fulfills with the requirement of the SDOSE Doctoral school at Dauphine and/or the requirements of other PhD programs in France or abroad. This should be done in close link with the Master thesis supervisor. 

- If the internship option is chosen, the student must find an internship of a minimum of 4 months, to be finished before graduation in early December of the next academic year. At the end of the internship, the student writes a report on this experience. 

In all cases, the PhD project / internship report will be graded.

Compétence à acquérir :

 This internship/PhD project is intended to prepare the job market insertion of the students after graduation. 

If choosing the PhD project option, the student prepares a PhD project to submit to the SDOSE doctoral school and/or to other PhD programs in other universities, in France and/or abroad. Doing so, the student paves the way to his future PhD in economics. 

If choosing the internship option, the student will benefit from a long-lasting experience (Internship of 4-month minimum) in a private company, international institution or a research center to improve his competencies in view of his future career.

If internship: A summary of the internship experience should be written and sent to the Master's director. There is no oral defense.
