Research-oriented courses TSE’s research-oriented courses train students to use and adapt recent theories or techniques to solve real-world challenges met by their future employers. At master level, depending on their career plans students can choose to major in statistics, econometrics, public development, industrial organization, environment, biodiversity, or finance. International Masters program The Master's program plays a central role in the TSE program. After a 1st year common to all students, the degree offers several options:

• The international track Masters degree entirely taught in English
• The standard track Masters degree partially taught in French
• The research option – leading into the doctoral program, with rigorous preparatory courses beginning from the 2nd year of the Masters.

Doctoral school The Doctoral school is modeled on the top American universities. After the dedicated preparatory 2nd year of the Masters’ degree, the Ph.D. candidates follow the 2nd year of advanced, specialized courses before carrying out 3 years of full-time research alongside the TSE faculty members.
