The Department of Accounting and Finance offers strong supervision, a collegial atmosphere, access to state-of-the-art databases, a strong seminar series, and a senior visitors programme. Students begin with PhD-level courses and seminars in finance theory, econometrics, and research methodology, then develop and write a thesis on a topic of their choice. Two subject experts will provide detailed supervision. The department also supports conference and research visits and may offer opportunities for international experience through visits to leading US or European schools.
