Is the PhD Finance offered on a part-time basis?
No. In recent years the Department of Finance has not taken on any PhD students on a part-time basis. This is because we believe that the PhD programme is a significant undertaking which students must completely devote themselves and their time to. During the first one or two years (depending upon the route) students will have regular teaching throughout the week, as well as being required to attend seminars and workshops. When not attending formalised teaching and seminars, students are expected to be independently working and researching, as well as often undertaking teaching of undergraduate and Master’s levels student within the Department of Finance. This is not something that we believe someone can do on a part-time basis whilst holding a job.
