Jenni Bettman - PhD Candidate in Finance

There are a number of reasons why I chose to study a PhD in Finance at the ANU.  Not only has it given me the opportunity to be supervised by leading finance academics in Australia, its focus on both coursework and research guarantees a high quality PhD outcome.

Further, the reputation of a Finance PhD from ANU gives any graduand a variety of career opportunities.  My personal preference is to stay in academia, and with the reputation and quality of the PhD in Finance I will obtain from ANU, I should be able to do this either locally or beyond.

Anthony Swan – PhD Candidate in Economics

Compared to the ANU no other university in Australia has academics that offer the same depth of knowledge and capability within in my chosen research field, growth and development economics.  Importantly, my supervisor, Professor Steve Dowrick, is the foremost expert in my research field in Australia.

Most senior researchers in ANU economics have worked in top universities around the world and are very forthcoming in helping PhD students get their research published in good journals. Building my publication record is most important for my future career.

While research at ANU is not always easy…the quality of research that you come out with makes it all worthwhile.
