Accounting (PhD)
This PhD specialisation provides candidates with rigorous training at the research frontier in Accounting.
The specialisation in Accounting prepares candidates for the international academic job market, positions in research organisations, auditing and consulting firms, as well as national and international institutions like accounting standard setting bodies, financial regulators (e.g. SEC, Finanstilsynet, …) or other relevant policy institutions. We encourage candidates with strong quantitative and analytical skills and an interest in Accounting, Finance or Economics to apply.
Distinguishing features
- The Accounting specialisation has a joint intake of students with the specialisations in Finance and Economics. Hence, candidates share some courses and are part of a larger group of recently admitted PhD students to BI.
- Courses are offered by local faculty, invited international researchers or through cooperation at the European level. This allows candidates to early build their own network within academia.
- Research is relevant from the start of the programme since candidates are expected to write summer papers under faculty supervision. This allows students to quickly present research findings at international conferences.
What you can expect
The four-year study programme leading to a PhD degree is designed to allow you to conduct in-depth research. In addition, it is comprised of a course component, seminars, PhD committees, pre-doctoral defence, and lastly, dissertation and final defence. 25% of the time is reserved for teaching.
