1 Financial Planning PhD Degree Programs

Pursuing an education in financial planning prepares students for a variety of careers. Examples of topics that students may study are investments, personal financial planning, estate planning, taxation law, banking, employee benefits, insurance and retirement pensions.

Requirements for the PhD program often involve the student having already obtained a Master’s degree. Additionally, a thesis or dissertation primarily consisting of original academic research must be submitted. In some countries, this work may even need to be defended in front of a panel.
