ParisTech-Paris-Est Course in Management for Doctoral Students 

The ENPC MBA Paris proposes a four-week Course in Management for doctoral candidates spread over four months (one week per month) that aims to give doctoral candidates a high-level introduction to business and management. The idea is to give specialized doctoral students from a wide range of schools and disciplines an overview of various aspects of business and management in an MBA-style learning format which uses blended learning, problem-based learning, the case study method, group work, individual work, guest speakers, corporate visits as well as active participation of all students.

The objective is to help doctoral students rapidly acquire an excellent working understanding of business and management, including immediately applicable models, frameworks, tools, best practices and skills in order to better comprehend today's business challenges, increase employability and get on a fast-track to management positions.

Testimonial - "this program encouraged us to think big"

Simona SabaThe ENPC ParisTech Doctoral Program on Management - the perfect complement to a PhD
Simona SABA, Doctorante IRSN/Université Paris-Est

"I would not be exaggerating if I say that this course has changed me in many positive ways. Starting with the academic point of view, a rich variety of classes (marketing, negotiation, finance, innovation…) was given by high quality teachers who came from well recognised business schools in all over the world. They have excellent teaching skills that transformed the intensive classes into interactive, very rich and fun classes.

In another way, this program encouraged us to think big, beyond the everyday scientific routine of a PhD student. By the end, I made a lot of wonderful friends from many different cultures. I admit that it wasn’t easy for us to work as a team at the beginning, it even happened that we argued sometimes, but it didn’t take us very long to become a great team and enjoy the hard work.
After this program, we are able to speak the language of business, to be more confident when facing recruiters, have the initiative to contact people to build our network and finally to think out of the box!"
