Doctor of Philosophy - PhD
Summary
This programme offers the chance to undertake a substantial piece of work that is worthy of publication and which makes an original contribution to the field of finance. You will begin on the MRes, and will need to meet certain requirements to progress to the PhD.
Our programme is unique in its integration of finance and economics. During the first year, you will take microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics courses alongside PhD students in Economics. However, in the second year you will differentiate by taking advanced courses in asset pricing and corporate finance. You will leave with a broad understanding of finance and its relations to other fields in economics.
As one of the largest finance departments in the world, we are able to offer opportunities for research in virtually any field in finance. We have strengths in theory and empirics, asset pricing and corporate finance, as well as financial econometrics, behavioural finance, macro-finance, and microeconomic analysis of financial markets and institutions.
You are expected to participate in the regular departmental seminars (weekly), as well as occasional workshops and conferences given by internationally renowned speakers. This is viewed as an important part of the learning process on the MRes/PhD in Finance.
