Menghan Zhu

One important feature that attracted me to do a doctorate at FS is the structure of the  Program. It consists of 2 years of coursework/master thesis phase (120 ECTS) and 3 years of dissertation phase.

My journey on finding a Finance Assistant Professor position

Lorenzo Schönleber

During my PhD I decided to pursue an academic career and therefore the next logical step was to find a job as an assistant professor.
