The Great Lakes Fellow Programme in Management (FPM)
Post Date: 25/03/2024
Hiring Institute: The Great Lakes
Organization Profile: The Great Lakes Fellow Programme in Management (FPM) is a doctoral program that meets global standards, offering rigorous training comparable to leading PhD programs worldwide. Our faculty, renowned for their publications in top journals, will mentor you alongside distinguished international professors. With their close guidance, you will become a proficient scholar from the outset, gaining an edge over your peers. Our comprehensive teaching training, including the case method, ensures that you are well-equipped for academic success, ready to excel in the classroom from day one.
The programme is structured in two phases:
Phase 1
In the first two years, students will take courses in a wide range of areas exposing them to the breadth and depth of theory and methods; and over the next three years, they will identify a research topic for their dissertation and work on it under the guidance of their advisor(s) and doctoral committee.
Rather than having comprehensive examinations, the Great Lakes FPM tests students on their ability to apply the knowledge and skills acquired by requiring them to work on two research papers at the end of the first and second years respectively and defending their work in front of the entire faculty. This will give the students a head start in having a steady pipeline of research by the time they graduate.
Phase 2
Upon successful defense of the second-year research paper, students are formally admitted into candidacy for the award of the FPM. They will begin work on their dissertation on a topic that is novel and makes a contribution to the field. Working closely with their faculty advisors and committee, students will develop their idea into a formal proposal that will be defended in Year 4 of the program, and upon receiving a go-ahead, they will complete their dissertation and defend it before the committee in Year 5 whence they graduate from the program.
