| How many students apply and how many are admitted to the Doctoral Program in
Finance at the University of Zurich? |
|
| Currently, we receive between 150 and 200 applications.
We accept between 6 and 10 students, depending on the quality of the applicants
and how many open assistantship positions among the potential supervisors we anticipate in our program. |
|
| Is an MBA considered as being equivalent with required MSc in Finance or Economics? |
|
| Typically we do not consider an MBA as being equivalent with required MSc in
Finance or Economics, except for an MBA degree with highly quantitative background from one of the world’s top universities. |
|
| Are GMAT, GRE or TOEFL required for the program? |
|
| This is addressed in the Who Should Apply document.
The GMAT institution code for the University of Zurich, Doctoral Program in Finance is: 7382.
There are no institution codes for GRE or TOEFL. |
|
| How about financial aid offered by the Doctoral Program in Finance at the University of Zurich? |
|
|
Most accepted students are granted admission with a stipendium of
about 2700 CHF per month - an amount which is more than enough for a student to live in Zurich. |
|
| Can I work during the PhD program? |
|
|
Students with a stipendium will neither need additional money,
nor will they have the time to pursue outside employment, given the time required for
the demanding coursework and research agenda. As a related question, part-time doctoral
studies are not allowed in this structured Ph.D. program. |
|
| Can I already apply even when I have not yet finished my Master Degree? |
|
| Yes, but your studies have to be completed latest by the beginning of the term in September. |
