7 PhD scholarship in Economics, Università Ca' Foscari

The Advanced School of Economics (in Italian: Scuola Superiore di
Economia, or SSE for short) runs two doctoral programs: one in
Economics and one in Business.

The Doctoral Program in Economics (DEC) and the Doctoral Program in
Business (DEA) emanate from the Department of Economics and the
Department of Business Management at the University of Venice. The
School coordinates these two programs, that share several first-year
courses and a common philosophy. Since 2008, the School has taken over
over the activities of a third doctoral program in Economics and
Organisation that used to be run as part of the School for Advanced
Studies in Venice.


The School is based in Venice and offers only courses at a doctoral
level. The official language is English. The current Director is Agar
Brugiavini.

Admission is based on the evaluation of applicants' curriculum,
research interests, and reference letters. Applications must include a
