What is a MRM and how does it compare to a MS

I have just completed my MS and interesting in pursuing a terminal degree. I have looked at IESE Business School for my DBA/PHD, they are requiring a Master of Research in Management. What is this and is it the same as a Master in Science?

thanks

 

A Masters of Research in Management is just what the title says it is, a masters degree focusing on research. That is not the same as a MS focusing on something else. Depending on how much of a research component your MS had, they may waive some of the coursework for the MRM.

 

The only problem is that one has to spell out what the degree is because a MRM is unknown to most people (unlike a MA or MS).

 

I don't know anything in particular about Spanish distance leaning but there's something about this that doesn't feel good to me. Firtst - Pietto - I don't know how you can say that you don't know what an MRM is. IESE offers an MRM. Didn't you read the IESE website? You just finished an MS and you can't compare and contrast?

Second - Are there any other schools anywhere that offer an MRM? Anywhere? Or is this a creation of IESE? I ask because it appears that the only way into the PhD program (it's not a DBA) is to actually go through the IESE MRM program. Sounds fishy to me.

 

iESE is considered one of the best business schools on the planet. The school is legitimate. They offer an Executive MBA program in conjunction with Georgetown. I also have never heard of an MRM, but I know IESE is phenomenal school.

 

I'm glad to hear that it's a good school. However, even if it provides high quality instruction it would seem more than a little unusual that the only way into their PhD program is to go through their own Masters program first.

 

In the UK many doctorate programs require that the student first earn a MRes (Master of Research) or MPhil (Master of Philosophy) degree.
