Nova SBE has been offering a PhD program in Economics since its foundation in 1978, which was widened to include Finance in 2014, and a PhD program in Management since 2017.
Our PhD programs are designed to provide robust training with coursework in the first two years and research starting in the second year. The coursework equips students with the theoretical and empirical tools necessary to develop independent original research. Students also attend and present in seminars, and participate in interdisciplinary activities, and research projects under the mentorship of Nova SBE faculty members. The program spans four years with clear milestones to track progress and ensure timely completion.
The PhD programs are committed to advancing cutting-edge research in the fields of economics, finance, and management to address societal challenges and drive innovation. Central to our mission is the promotion of talented researchers taking part in faculty research initiatives. With a consistent track record of successful placements, our institution is strongly expanding its international visibility.
