The Graduate Program in Finance offers a 4-year doctoral training program, similar to PhD, which begins with a one-year training in research; once the training is validated, the student can enter the 3-year PhD program.
La formation pré-doctorale
L’admission en doctorat est conditionnelle à la validation d’une année pré-doctorale. Cette année préparatoire au doctorat s’effectue au sein du M2 Research in Finance. Elle peut être intégrée soit après validation de la première année du Master Finance, soit après un autre master de PSL ou d’une université extérieure. En outre, la première année du Master Finance offre un choix de cours optionnels permettant de préparer cette année pré-doctorale dès le M1 pour les étudiants qui le souhaitent (M1 Finance parcours Research in Finance).
Les étudiants du M1 Finance qui choisissent le parcours Research in Finance et les étudiants inscrits en M2 Research in Finance version pré-doctorale peuvent postuler à des bourses d’excellence.
Le doctorat
La recherche doctorale s’effectue au sein du laboratoire de recherche DRM et dans le cadre de l’école doctorale SDOSE. La formation doctorale comporte des cours de professionnalisation préparant à la carrière académique et des séminaires doctoraux enseignés par des professeurs de renom dans leur domaine de recherche. En tant que chercheurs de DRM, les doctorants ont accès aux principales bases de données utilisées en finance. Ils sont amenés à présenter leurs recherches régulièrement devant leurs pairs.
