The VGSF PhD program in Finance consists of two parts: rigorous coursework and work on the PhD thesis. The students attend courses covering all major topics in finance and analytical methods required for research. In particular, the courses focus on Corporate Finance, Asset Pricing and Quantitative Methods in Finance.

In our weekly research seminar students have the opportunity to meet internationally renowned scholars presenting their state-of-the art research.
