Do your PhD in a milieu dedicated to research and innovation, in an internationally renowned community of professors and researchers.

Your PhD in short

  • Offered by HEC Montréal jointly with Concordia and McGill universities and the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM). This partnership gives you access to resources (faculty and courses) rarely available elsewhere in the world.
  • Full-time program allowing you to complete your studies in four or five years.

For a career in academia

The 12 graduates from this doctoral program between 2010 and 2015 all hold positions as university professors.

“I had 10 years of industry experience behind me, but no knowledge whatsoever of the world of academia, and zero publications. The program exceeded my expectations… ultimately landing a tenure-track position in the best place for me.”
Julien Meyer, PhD. Assistant Professor, Ryerson University, Ontario

Among the best

  • European Journal of Information Systems

Thanks to these publications, HEC Montréal placed 2nd in the world in the 2014 My Vision Research ranking.

“During my studies, I worked with an expert supervisor who is one of the best scholars in our field. I received support in applying for external funding and awards. I worked on different research projects, attended international conferences, and taught various courses. My PhD from HEC Montréal has made me a more confident and capable researcher and teacher.”
