Doctoral School

The doctoral programme in Economics and Finance aims at providing doctoral candidates with a research environment meeting the standards of the best universities in Europe and North America. The objective of the programme is to contribute to the dissemination and the advancement of knowledge in economics and finance. The programme is designed to give to all students a solid background in both economics and finance, before they specialize in one of these two fields. The focus will be on developing the ability to cope with new, original research questions and address them with up-to-date tools and methods.

The doctoral programme in Economics and Finance is articulated in two administratively independent parts: one preparatory year of intensive coursework followed by three years of advanced studies and research. The programme covers a wide range of subjects including Regional Development, Economic Integration, Environment Policies, International Economics, Macro Finance, Macroeconomic Growth & Development, Financial Economics, Behavioural Finance, Corporate Finance and Financial Econometrics. Its interdisciplinary nature offers students a diversity of training and research topics as well as a better opportunity of academic and professional placement within and outside Europe.

The working language of the Luxembourg Doctoral School in Economics and Finance is English.
