PhD Finance 05

The four year PhD program in Business Administration with a focus on Finance (degree program structure of 2005) is to be discontinued, which means that admission to the program is no longer possible.

Extension of transition period

Students who enrolled in the program before the new degree program structure came into effect  can remain in the old degree program until 30 September 2017. If you discontinue your studies for one or more semesters, you can only continue them according to the new, 3 year PhD program.
