Specific mention for the PhD Program in Finance | PSL


The PhD Program starts with the PhD Qualifying Year. It is fully-funded with excellence grants at the master level and a 3-year doctoral contract at the PhD level. To apply, you should follow the online application procedure at Login (psl.eu). The application file is very close to the one that is asked for the PhD Qualifying Year. Application guidelines are available here.

Since the application procedure of the PhD Program is materially separated from the application to the PhD Qualifying Year, to maximize your chances, it is recommended to apply to the PhD Program AND to the PhD Qualifying Year.
