Telecom Ecole de Management' management doctoral students have during the first year three weeks fundamental courses (except from workers and non-French speakers). The others trainings are optional for students working or living far from Evry. At the end of each academic year, the research students present their work development.

The modules are taught in French and in English. Both languages deliver the same program, the English one is adapted to the French.

Fundamentals seminars

The first year of research is based on the fundamentals modules. It aims at exchanging on the epistemology and the research process, as well as helping the doctorate students to look further and to improve her/his research project. Several meetings with researchers from different backgrounds allow them to confront approaches. It provides a good environment to socialize, initiates research students to become researchers, and encourages them to develop team work.

During the first year those thirty hours modules are compulsory (except for working and non-French speaking students). In the second year the SDS modules are limited to 16 persons. The last three weeks are dedicated to students who prepared a personal work.

It includes, in the morning, workshops and debates with various researchers, representatives of different approaches and methods. Whereas the four first afternoons research students present to their classmates and known researchers theirs works related to their researches. The fifth one is dedicated to groups’ debates moderated by a researcher.

Research methods seminars

The methods seminars aim at looking beyond the outcomes and thinking on the best issues as well as the adequate reasoning for the research works.

Analysis and interpretation

Overall these modules question the relation between chosen methods with the expected interpretation.
