The PhD in Agricultural Economics trains researchers to analyze economic problems related to rural, agricultural, and agrifood development and to propose solutions. The programme covers agroeconomic theory and research methods, with applications in supply chain management, international trade, agricultural policy, and consumer economics. The 90-credit programme is estimated to take four years of full-time study and is built around an original thesis supervised by a faculty research director, who must agree to supervise the student before admission. Applicants must hold a master's degree in economics, agroeconomics, or an equivalent qualification, and must submit a curriculum vitae and three letters of appreciation with their application. Instruction is delivered in French; the ability to read and understand texts in French and English is necessary to complete the programme, though it is not a formal admission requirement. The programme admits students for the fall session only and prepares graduates for research, policy, and analytical roles in the agricultural and agrifood sectors.
