The PhD programme at KBS is a small and selective programme that offers exceptional levels of support and guidance to students. We are always seeking highly motivated and well qualified students with strong academic backgrounds in the core disciplines of finance. Our students regularly win external and internal scholarships (including the SeNSS ESRC scholarship for students from a network of 10 top universities in the South East of England). Our graduates have been placed in academic positions in respected universities, as well as in industry.

If you are considering a PhD and you arrive for a Masters at Kent, please approach the PhD Admissions Adviser (currently me) at the beginning of your studies to receive personalized suggestions for maximizing your chances.
UPDATE (Sep 2019): The new PhD Admissions Adviser is Dr Huamao Wang.
