4. Doctoral candidates Major field specialization The HEC doctoral program includes a year of specialization that encompasses coursework and graduate-level seminars, as well as a doctoral seminar in a major field of specialization. During this period, each student works closely with an advisor who helps determine his or her choice of courses and who designs a personalized reading list (i.e. a bibliography of fundamental research). The first year ends with a major field exam (late June), followed by a presentation of a draft of the student’s dissertation (in October-November). While writing the dissertation In view of highlighting research during the year of specialization, once dissertations are underway, several « Research and Debate »  sessions with the faculty will be organized by doctoral candidates. Moreover, candidates will be in charge of organizing a session with their advisors in view of writing their dissertations (methodology and/or argumentation), as part of the « Dissertation Follow-up ».

It is to include the following points : • A draft (specifying research questions, hypotheses and methodology used) • Initial results • Difficulties encountered • Tentative timetable • The doctoral candidate is to prepare a copy of his or her work that must be submitted to an advisor two weeks prior to a 45-minute (maximum) oral presentation. • Each candidate is welcome to invite professors or students from other departments or research institutions if he or she cares to do so. • Once a dissertation has been successfully completed, the dissertation follow-up covers: «Oral presentation : what is involved and its modalities ».
