ACCESS TO THE DOCTORAL PROGRAM

This master program offers a 'research track' for students willing to prepare a PhD in finance.

Students take specific research oriented courses. Specifically, the unit "Research Methods in Finance" (UE 5) replaces some more practitioners’ courses. Moreover, students must write a short research thesis (UE 6) which may (but does not have to) form the starting point for a doctoral dissertation. Access to the doctoral programme depends on successful completion of the research courses and validation of the doctoral project by a supervising professor.

Professional Experience and internship

In order to obtain your Master 2, you must validate a professional experience of at least 6 months that can take the form of an internship or a job contract. You must also write a report to analyze your professional responsibilities and present your contributions.

Students opting for the research track must instead write a research thesis.
