About

The Research in Management programme from University of Navarra is a unique opportunity for students with a passion for research who seek to have a profound impact on management thinking at the world’s leading business schools and universities.

Overview

The first step to become an IESE doctoral student is to apply for the IESE Master in Research in Management, a two-year, full-time programme of core, advanced and specialized courses, seminars and electives with a total load of 120 ECTS credits.
