Mestrado e Doutorado em Administração FUMEC

The PDMA is organized into two levels:

I – Master;

II – Doctorate.

The PDMA Structure is composed of four nuclei, namely: Basic, Research Training, Training and Deepening and Support.

1. Basic Core: composed of mandatory disciplines indispensable to the formation of a Master or Doctor in Administration. Considering that the course receives graduates from various undergraduate courses, it is necessary to establish basic training content for a master in management;
2. Research Stream: includes disciplines that present research training content and research projects. The model adopted in the research may assume a phenomenological or positivist nature and, therefore, all teachers will have qualitative and quantitative skills to support students with regard to the adequacy of methodologies to the nature of the problem and the object of study. This set of disciplines focuses on methodologies that will not only support the dissertation/thesis, but will also support results and concepts;

III.       Deepening in Content: composed of deepening disciplines in the Program’s lines of research. The contents contribute to the training of the master’s student in the themes of his research;

1. Support Disciplines: consisting of disciplines whose cutting-edge contents can expand or focus on subjects of interest in the training of master’s students. Generally, the disciplines that make up this nucleus have a shorter duration, addressing emerging themes in Administrative Sciences.

The disciplines are offered every academic two months and are grouped according to the lines of research and level of the course (Master’s or Doctorate).

The curricular structure covers in the Basic Core has a general basic discipline – Theory of Organizations and two more, each focusing on one of the two lines of research (Strategic Management and Innovation, Technology and Marketing), which converge to the area of concentration.

In the research training center, it has five disciplines, with three aimed at research development: Methodology, Research in Administration and Project Seminar, in which the student evolves in his research continuously, supported by quantitative and qualitative methods.

In the Deepening Section, it has optional subjects so that the student can focus on the themes of his research and line. Here is the description:

The program has 31 research projects for its 13 permanent professors and 02 collaborators (15 members), 18 in the research line Strategy in Organizations and Organizational Behavior and 13 projects in the research line Innovation, Technology and Marketing. The projects support production and align with the lines of research with adherence.  In this sense, considering the facts described, there is evidence of alignment and mutual support between the area of concentration, lines of research, projects, curricular structure and offer of disciplines in relation to the objectives, modality and context of action of the program.
