4-year Ph.D. in Economics

The first year is entirely dedicated to intensive course work, from the second year onwards, PhD students are dedicated to their own research, under the supervision of two members of the faculty. Besides working on their PhD dissertation, as part of the department community, students are involved in activities such as reading groups, seminars and teaching assistantship. Study periods in other international institutions as well as participation to scientific conferences are encouraged and financially supported.

The considerable diversification of research areas covered by the members of Department of Economics and their international reputation provide an excellent environment where students of most fields in economics can find research ideas and tight guidance for their doctoral studies.

Our recent PhDs first placement include positions both in Italian and foreign Universities such as:  Università Bocconi, Università degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia, Università degli Studi dell’Insubria, Università di Padova, University College London, University of Bonn, University of Antwerp, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Addis Ababa University, University of Gondar and Zhongnan University of Economics and Law. Some PhDs were employed by private companies such as Morgan Stanley-London, Avis Budget Group and Microsoft, as well as in public and private research centers of national and international banks such as Banca d’Italia, Bundesbank, Dutch Central Bank, European Central Bank and ING Bank.

For academic year 2022-2023, seven positions are available:

- Six of them come with a scholarship (around 15,300 € per year).
