With a century-long tradition of serving the needs of the community, it has defined a ‘Research for Business’ orientation and has spelled out its educational credo as ‘professional development through research-based excellence.’ The PhD in Finance organised by EDHEC-Risk Institute is the culmination of this ambition. The purpose of this programme is to help outstanding individuals become autonomous researchers and lifelong innovators by enabling them to develop the scientific background and skills required to define, conduct and complete research projects that advance knowledge and practices in the financial industry. This unique programme offers both a residential track for high-potential graduate students who will hold part-time research or teaching positions at EDHEC Business School, and an executive track for high-level practitioners in full-time jobs. The programme is taught by an exceptional team of international scholars who not only hold prestigious qualifications, distinctions, and appointments but, more importantly, have also made significant contributions to the field of financial economics, furthering theory and impacting practices through research, consulting, and executive education.
