Testimonial

"The Ph.D. program at ESSEC trains prospective scholars to become highly skilled and successful researchers and teachers. Students are free to express their interests, propose and conduct pieces of original research. Faculty members drive, encourage and collaborate with Ph.D. students to publish in leading academic journals and present in international conferences and workshops. The Ph.D. program organizes numerous academic seminars, providing a helpful open forum to attend the presentations of both faculty members and visiting faculty from other institutions. Doing my Ph.D. at ESSEC opened all doors for my career."
