Promotionsstudium - Full Time

- Mathematical Methods of Economics

For students with already advanced skills in mathematics, the first module can be replaced by a higher level course in quantitative methods for finance and economics. Additionally doctoral students will take two elective courses related to their field of specialisation.
Doctoral students are expected to be fully committed to their PhD studies. They will work under the supervision of two advisers who will assist them in specifying a research agenda during their first year. After passing the mandatory exams in the first year the doctoral students will work on their research projects in close interaction with their supervisors. They will be part of a team of doctoral students and scholars dedicated to pose and answer demanding research questions.
