6 PhD Studentships in Finance
EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre and Department of
Accounting, Law, Finance and Economics
EDHEC Business School
Subjects: Business and Economics
The PhD in Finance programme at EDHEC Business School is designed for the brightest and hardest-working individuals who are seeking faculty positions at leading educational institutions and senior executive careers in the financial industry. It is uniquely offered in two tracks: a "residential track" for high-potential graduate students who will hold part-time research or teaching positions at EDHEC Business School, and an "executive track" for high-level practitioners who will keep their full-time jobs.
The key benefits of the EDHEC PhD in Finance are its outstanding faculty, its balance between course and dissertation work, its supportive research environment and close dissertation supervision, its talented and diverse participant body, and the first-rate industry relationships and global impact of the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre. These combine to create the best opportunities for participants to develop their research expertise and to prepare for faculty positions at leading universities worldwide and top industry jobs.
PROGRAMME STRUCTURE:
The programme is designed to be completed in three years; course requirements will be fulfilled after two years. PhD students work individually with faculty members on dissertation topics selected for their academic and business relevance and in accordance with each student's research interests and professional goals.
Programme prerequisites are economics and econometrics. PhD in Finance candidates on the "residential track" who may be lacking in these fields will have the opportunity to take supplementary graduate courses at EDHEC Business School during the first year of their doctoral studies. Core courses in Financial Economics, Corporate Finance, Continuous-Time Financial Economics and Empirical Methods in Finance offer PhD candidates sound training in financial theory and analytic methods so that they can take on a broad variety of teaching and research assignments. Elective research seminars expose candidates to the latest research advances in specific fields, providing them with opportunities to develop a specialisation and acquire additional skills necessary for their dissertation work.
PROGRAMME FACULTY:
The faculty is made up of specialists in finance, asset management, and financial modelling and brings together the school's senior economics and finance professors and affiliated professors from top research institutions the world over. The programme also draws on the resources and reputation of the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre, Europe's premier centre for applied financial research.
ADMISSIONS:
Admission to the EDHEC PhD in Finance is highly selective. Normal entrance requirements include a master's degree (or equivalent) from an accredited school, college, or university (business management, economics, or science and engineering degrees are preferred); high CGPA in master's-level and upper-undergraduate coursework; excellent GMAT or GRE scores; English proficiency; evidence of research capability (master's thesis or research proposal); letters of reference; and a letter of intent. The application deadline for September admission is May 30th of the same year. However, PhD in Finance admissions are rolling: the earlier an application is received, the earlier it will be processed.
FINANCIAL AID:
Students on the residential track will work as research assistants at the EDHEC Risk and Asset Management Research Centre, as research assistants to senior finance faculty, or as teaching assistants (TA) in the department of accounting, law, finance and economics. In return for their part-time duties with the school, residential track participants will receive a full tuition waiver plus competitive RA/TA compensation.
