Economics and Management University of Padua

Overview

The PhD programme in Economics and Management 

Most classes take place in Padova, while some courses are organised jointly with the University of Verona. By the end of the first year of the PhD programme in Economics and Management of the University of Padua all students have identified a supervisor, the topic of their thesis, and present their first “summer” paper.

During the second, and third year, students work exclusively on their thesis under the close supervision of two faculty members and enjoy a vibrating research environment .

During the fourth year, students are expected to conclude their thesis and go to the academic job market. The department supports students actively in this endeavor. Over the years, our graduates have achieved placements in prestigious universities such as the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, University of Warwick, University of Exeter Business School, University of Concordia, Tuck School of Business, EUI, IESE, ESADE, Trinity College, University of Copenhagen, University of New South Wales, University of Groningen, and several Italian Universities. Other have joined important institutions such as the Bank of Italy, the OECD, and the World Bank.
