This programme prepares students to carry out research work worthy of publication in scientific journals with a peer-review system. It aims to develop the skills needed to devise and implement new mathematical methods that could be used to tackle problems in the areas of economics and management.
The teaching and research team of the Programme (a) covers a wide range of fields, including, Actuarial Sciences, Dynamical Systems, Financial Econometrics, Macro-and Micro-econometrics, Mathematical Analysis, Mathematical Finance, Operational Research, Statistics, and Time Series.
On completion of the degree, the graduates are expected to:
The Programme is associated with two research centres as hosts units:
Applicants for the School’s PhDs can apply for a variety of scholarships, namely FCT scholarships (granted by FCT or by ISEG research centres) and, in some cases, ULisboa scholarships. The criteria, rules and regulations for applying for scholarships are detailed on our website.
In some cases, PhD students can be enrolled in projects hosted by the research centres or be supported by them. For further information, contact the PhD coordinator.
The PhD Programme in MAEG (Applied Mathematics for Economics and Management) is designed to meet the needs of those who wish to enhance their knowledge of mathematical methods and techniques in order to make original contributions in a particular field or to develop and implement solutions for problems in the areas of economics and management.
This PhD program is intended for those who wish to pursue an academic career as well as those who wish to develop the skills required of a professional in order to devise and implement innovative quantitative approaches to real-world problems.
The PhD programme takes three years to complete. The first year is devoted to coursework and includes the preparation, presentation, and viva voce defense of the thesis research project by the student before an examination panel. The next two years are dedicated to research, leading to the design, writing, and defense of an original dissertation in an area of Applied Mathematics for Economics and Management.
Please note that if any non-Portuguese speakers are enrolled in the Programme, then lectures will be taught in English.
