"The program is highly stimulating and personally enriching. SBS Finance provides interesting talks from world-leading researchers, opportunities to attend international conferences and present your work to the research community, a well-rounded coursework in finance and economics, and the possibility of learning much more than your research topic. Very importantly, the finance section at SBS also provides a wonderful working environment. Besides the friendly PhD students, the faculty in the section are very approachable and supportive and make excellent supervisors. Honestly, I had an amazing time doing my PhD at SBS."
