Student experience
Robert Manolache
PhD candidate Department of Finance
"I have always had a keen intellectual curiosity to explore and understand financial markets, and the Doctoral program here has enabled me to independently research topics which I am passionate about. I work alongside like-minded peers and supportive academic staff. Through a rigorous and challenging coursework program, I have been able to develop strong conceptual and computational skills, giving me the confidence to develop my own models and test their implications for our understanding of financial markets and corporate decision-making."
