Doctoral Programme in Quantitative Economics and Finance

The doctoral programme gives students a firm background in the newest
theoretical concepts and quantitative methods of economics and finance,
in order to gain the skills needed to write a doctoral thesis in line
with the highest internationally recognised standards. Aside from
training in economic theory and econometrics, which provides the tools
to undertake research in a wide range of research fields, students
acquire expertise in the main research fields of the department, e.g.
finance, labour economics, public economics, behavioural economics.

The doctoral programme offers the benefits of an American Ph.D. programme
with a well-structured curriculum. This enables students to progress
quickly towards their thesis topic and their own research interests. The
programme takes care to provide the active involvement of supervising
professors, special doctoral seminars and the opportunity to complete
research papers. The entire programme is conducted in English. Graduates
of the programme are prepared for leading positions in academic
institutions, industry, the financial sector and government departments.

The three-year programme is open to graduates and pending graduates with
an outstanding master's degree or a German "Diplom" in economics,
