Teaching Programme 2025-2026

The teaching program is divided into two tracks: one tailored for students in the Economics and Quantitative Methods curricula, and the other for students in the Business and Management curriculum.

Each track comprises 140 hours of lectures, including both shared modules—such as Statistics and Research Lab I and II (36 hours)—and curriculum-specific modules. Additionally, personalized courses are arranged by supervisors.

Courses span the entire first year, with mandatory courses in the first semester and elective courses in the second semester.

The syllabi and teaching materials for all courses are available in the Teams class PhD in Economics and Business.
