How to join ?

In February, admissions to the Master in Quantitative Economics and Finance (MQEF), which plays the role of the first year of the PhD program, open. In parallel, the Department of Finance usually posts an ad on the University’s Job Portal.   Prospective PhD students should apply to both the MQEF and the University’s Job Portal. Applications are reviewed regularly. The Department of Finance contacts selected candidates. The sooner you apply, the better. Most students are hired on behalf of the Department of Finance, and find their advisor in the second year of the programme.

Candidates with a degree in Mathematics, Physics, Computer Science, Engineering or another quantitative subject are particularly encouraged to apply. In some exceptional cases, after reviewing applications, the Department of Finance contacts Candidates who already hold a research-oriented quantitative Master’s Degree to offer them to directly join the second year of the PhD programme.

Students who directly join the second year of the Finance Ph.D. programme must satisfy the following requirements

• Requirements for doctoral candidates in Finance (PDF)
