Haskayne PhD

A flexible, innovative and student-oriented approach

Generous Funding Package

Our funding package is one the most generous among the Canadian business schools. We pay full tuition to all students admitted. We provide in excess of $120,000 over four years plus partial funding in year 5 to all incoming PhD students. We also support each student’s participation and attendance at academic conferences (subject to approval) to encourage presenting research and building networks.

The Haskayne PhD program is customized to fit your needs through a flexible, innovative and student-oriented approach including, the possibility of cross-disciplinary programs. This program will allow you to work with some of the best management scholars in the world, build your student support network and develop the research and teaching skills necessary to assume positions with major universities in Canada, the United States and around the world.

Format and Timing

Theory Development and Research Development (also known as the Summer Research Project, taken in the spring and summer of the first year)are two of the courses required by all students as well as a minimum of 12 half-course equivalents. In addition, students will choose five field courses in major and minor areas, based on their interests and suggestions from the supervisor. Five research methods and statistics courses are chosen from one of two streams:

Stream A is founded on economics and mathematics and includes courses in econometrics and optimization. Stream B is behavior-oriented and includes courses in multivariate analysis and qualitative methods.

After completing course work, students write their Field of Study, defend their dissertation proposal, fulfill their two-course teaching requirement and complete their dissertation. While recent graduates have completed their program in four years, typically students take five years to finish.

Our Students

The PhD specialization in Finance at McGill prepares students for research-oriented academic careers. While students from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply, the typical student holds an undergraduate or a master's degree in economics, finance, mathematics, statistics, computer science, engineering, or physics.

The program is normally completed in five years. The first two years in the program are devoted primarily to taking courses in finance, as well as supporting disciplines (economics, mathematics, and econometrics/statistics). After the first two years, students enter the dissertation phase of the program. The program is established in collaboration with Montreal’s major universities, allowing students access to a wide range of doctoral courses. Students are expected to interact with faculty professors to orient their dissertations, develop research skills, and initiate potential research collaborations. Overall, the program fosters a collaborative research environment and provides comprehensive support throughout the doctoral process.
