Strategic Management and Organization
HEC Paris, founded in 1881, consistently ranks among the top research institutions in business, specialized in education and research in management. As a leading academic institution in Europe and worldwide, HEC Paris offers a complete range of selective programs for students and business leaders.
The HEC Paris Faculty is dedicated to pushing the frontier of knowledge by actively engaging in research, publishing articles in top academic journals with an international audience and participating in national and international academic conferences.
The HEC PhD program is a full-time program, taught 100% in English, that prepares students for a career in research and academia. This requires in-depth knowledge of a particular field of management research, solid training in research methods, as well as hands-on experience in collecting and analyzing data, writing and presenting papers, academic networking and publishing research.
The HEC Paris PhD Program is an integrated PhD Program structured in two phases:
1. Research Master phase
The first two years of the PhD program are aimed at providing students with a strong basis to conduct research at the highest level. The phase is built around four pillars:

They are encouraged to present their research projects at national and international academic conferences. Most students spend time as a visiting student at a top university or business school abroad to build an academic network, work with co-authors, and receive feedback on their research.
During the PhD journey, students are fully integrated into the research ecosystem of the School and greatly contribute to the publication output of the school. They work closely with their tutor/supervisor but also with the Faculty of their department and across departments.
