The Research Master and PhD program in Finance aims at nurturing ambitious academics trained in cutting-edge research, who will contribute to advance the frontiers of finance research.
The program is structured in two phases:
a two-year Research Master (RM) and a three- to four-year PhD phase
Research Master Year 1
The first year of the RM is largely devoted to rigorous training in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics to provide students with strong basis in economic and econometric theory and methods.
Research Master Year 2
The second year of the RM brings students to explore in depth core finance research areas: asset pricing, corporate finance, and banking. Students can also choose some elective courses from all business and economics areas in order to acquire the skills needed to write their RM Thesis.
