The
Graduate School of Economics and Management of the Universities of
Padua, Ca' Foscari Venice and Verona is a joint three-year PhD
doctoral program designed to train doctoral candidates in a broad area
of advanced studies in economics, management and finance topics for
careers in teaching and research in universities, in public and private
research organizations, in financial and consulting institutions and in
private companies.
Students attend common core courses during their first semester, in either Venice or Verona, while they all have specific courses for economics or management in Padova during the second semester. The third semester is dedicated to elective courses in each of the three venues.
Students will be supervised by an advisor, member of the three universities' faculty, during the period dedicated to the elaboration of the doctoral thesis.
At the end of the program, students are awarded a joint PhD from the three universities.
PhD Programme
The GSEM is based in the universities of Padua, Venice and Verona and offers only courses at a doctoral level.
A typical first year starts early in September with preparatory courses in mathematics and probability. Official courses usually begin at the beginning of October. Courses and participation to department seminars absorb most of the students' activity from Monday to Friday. The academic year has three terms. After two terms of core courses, the third term offers electives intensive courses in each institution. Exam sessions are scheduled at the end of each term: i.e.: December, March and June. Students are encouraged to attend summer schools in their subjects of election during the summer months.
Second year students attend a first semester of courses in residence. Usually, second year students leave for a period of research and study in a foreign institution. The choice of the institution where students spend their time abroad is made by the School, and it is based on students' input and on the relative rankings.
Third year students are entirely devoted to their doctoral thesis, under the supervision of their advisors, chosen among the faculty of the three institutions, and participation in the activities (seminars etc.) organised by their department of affiliation.
Participation in international workshops and conferences is recommended and financially supported.
The PhD Program should be completed in three years. Extensions may be allowed, but no scholarship is provided during the extension period.
