Testimonial of EDHEC PhD in Finance Graduate Gideon Ozik, PhD (2011)
EDHEC BUSINESS SCHOOL
Did the programme meet your expectations?
Gideon Ozik
PhD in Finance (EDHEC) and Managing Partner and Founder, MKT MediaStats
I thought the programme was fantastic.
First, when I entered the programme, I had very high expectations.
But when I had finished, I realized, it went above and beyond my expectations.
The workload is something that was a bit surprising. We expected a very intensive workload. However it turned out that the work was a lot more difficult and demanding that we initially anticipated. So it’s a real PhD.
The professors that are involved in the programme are among the top in the finance world.

Testimonial of EDHEC PhD in Finance Graduate Messaoud Chibane, PhD (2016)
EDHEC BUSINESS SCHOOL
How relevant is the doctoral programme for finance practitioners?
Messaoud Chibane
PhD in Finance (EDHEC), Assistant Professor, NOEMA Business School, formerly Global Head of Quantitative Research, Shinsei Bank
I think it's very relevant to finance professionals especially for those who have had a reasonably long experience in finance and who still maintain the the willingness to to learn fundamental aspect of finance so these combined with teachers who have very profound theoretical knowledge but are also very knowledgeable about practical
application of finance. The fit of these two utility functions makes it very relevant to financial practitioners.
