Doctoral Programme in Finance at Université du Luxembourg in Luxembourg, Luxembourg is a doctorate in Finance, Banking & Insurance programme. The programme is delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is EUR 400 per semester (EUR 400 per semester for local students).
This programme within the Doctoral School in Economics, Finance and Management trains researchers in finance with a strong grounding in economics and data science. Its distinctive structure folds a taught master's into the doctorate: most candidates begin by enrolling in the Master in Quantitative Economics and Finance, which counts as the first year, before moving on to thesis research. From the second year candidates are offered full-time salaried positions, and promising students can receive scholarships during the master's stage. The department publishes a job advertisement when master's admissions open and reviews applications as they arrive, so applying early is advantageous. Students with backgrounds in mathematics, physics, computer science or engineering are explicitly welcomed. The total length is stated as three to five years, and teaching and supervision are in English.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Candidates normally apply to the Master in Quantitative Economics and Finance (MQEF), which serves as the programme's first year, and to the related post on the University Job Portal. Graduates in quantitative subjects such as mathematics, physics, computer science or engineering are encouraged to apply; holders of a research-oriented master's in a related, ideally quantitative, field may occasionally join directly in the second year.
