McGill Management PhD students characteristically form a group inspired by intellectual curiosity and the ability to work autonomously. Students identify complex topics of research and, under the guidance of advisory and thesis committees, determine the direction of research.
With diverse areas of specialization, students in the McGill PhD program learn a lot through collaboration, and over the course of the program, enjoy the cosmopolitan diversity that both McGill and Montreal have to offer.
Studying and often living just steps from the bustling downtown business core, McGill PhD students experience first-hand the fast-paced dynamics that drive one of Canada’s leading and most culturally diverse business centres.
