PhD Scholarships for the Joint PhD Program in Economics and Finance, Italy (2016)

The Università Cattolica di Milano and the Università di Milano – Bicocca offer a joint PhD Program in Economics and Finance. This program draws on the experience not only of the Graduate Program in Public Economics but also of the PhD in Economics (DEP) and of the PhD in Financial markets and institutions (MEIF). The length of the PhD Program is three years, starting in January 2016.

PhD programmes offer advanced education in economics in order to shape professionals capable of performing analysis and scientific research in both theoretical and applied economics at universities, financial institutions, public bodies and private, national and international organizations. Students are also trained to carry out research in private sector companies with specific interests in fields controlled by the public sector. The programme provides advanced teaching in Mathematics for economics, Econometrics, research methods, microeconomics and macroeconomics, along with in-depth lessons related to some specific areas of research. The drafting of the final dissertation takes advantage of the supervision of academics and researchers selected according to their specific competences and are monitored also through programmes of seminars.
