Research Master in Business: Finance track
The Research Master and PhD program in Finance aims at nurturing ambitious academics trained in cutting-edge research, who will contribute to advance the frontiers of finance research.
The Research Master in Business is a "Top rated program" in the Dutch Keuzegids Masters ranking 2018
The Finance Track is the largest Business PhD program at Tilburg, and one of the largest in Europe. Each year we typically admit half a dozen RM students expecting them to move on to the PhD phase. We currently have over 10 RM students and over 20 PhD students. These students come from various countries, and have different interests and backgrounds. English is the working language on the floor, as it is on the whole campus.
Collaboration with leading experts
Our faculty is also highly international, and includes scholars at the top of their fields. Faculty/student interaction is among the highest among competing programs. Students are encouraged to approach any member of faculty to discuss ideas or to ask for advice. Therefore, even with a large program, we can offer very close individual supervision. Each RM student is mentored by one faculty member per quarter. PhD student offices are back to back with those of faculty, and interaction is strong. Both RM and PhD students are closely overseen by the Education Coordinator.
Supervision
Supervision during the PhD phase is very intense: students often co-author papers with their supervisors and write at least one single-authored paper under their supervisor’s guidance. This paper will be their job market paper.
Seminar series
Our seminar series hosts over 30 leading scholars from the US and Europe each year, exposing students to cutting-edge research in all areas of Finance. Our weekly brown-bag lunch seminar allows PhD students and faculty members to discuss their work in progress in a vibrant and challenging environment.
