Core courses
The program starts with a curriculum of core PhD courses during one year. The aim of this intensive course-work is to provide all students with a broad and complete education covering the basic building blocks and conceptual tools of finance and to help orienting students towards a thesis supervisor. Each core course is followed by an examination. The faculty member in charge can decide to attribute the final grade for the course based on project assessments, on class participation as well as on graded interim homework.
