Make an impact on the financial world

Executive Education
| The European |

Supporting the allocation of resources across time and space, the financial industry is the lifeblood of the global economy; its fast-paced, cosmopolitan and intellectually stimulating atmosphere attracts some of the best, and most ambitious, minds in science and business. Yet, the global financial crisis has underlined the acute need for professionals who can combine critical thinking, field expertise and research skills to harness the power of financial innovation. Since technical degrees, professional experience and an MBA may develop this set of competencies only partially, those who aspire to build a stronger and more resilient financial system should consider pursuing the foremost academic and professional qualification, the Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD).

Training a new breed of financial leaders

Since 2008, the PhD in Finance offered by EDHEC Business School has been training participants to serve as the architects of the financial industry. The programme is designed to prepare talented and hard-working individuals for challenges requiring an integrated view of the inner workings of financial markets and institutions, a thorough understanding of financial decision-making and its modelling, and the ability to identify, analyse, and research questions to propose and implement original solutions. A defining feature of the programme is to offer seasoned industry professionals the opportunity to become autonomous researchers by following a rigorous curriculum while remaining in their jobs. Its differentiating ambition is to train a new breed of practitioners who will advance the frontiers of knowledge and practices within the financial industry.

To date, EDHEC is proud of its 37 PhD graduates who have gone on to author over 20 publications in top academic journals and leading professional reviews.
