Postgraduate Research Programme: Capital Markets and Finance in the Enlarged Europe

deep political change. A change from a centrally planned economy to a free
market economy resulted in almost the complete rearrangement of local
capital markets. The main goal of the Postgraduate Research Programme is
the analysis of these new financial markets, especially with respect to the
EU enlargement expected in the near future.
The Postgraduate Research Programme started its teaching and research
activities on October 1st, 1999. It is financed by Stiftungsfonds Deutsche
Bank im Stifterverband für die Deutsche Wissenschaft.
Every year there are 5 doctoral scholarships and 1 post-doctoral scholarship available. The selection procedure for the academic year
2003/2004 has already been completed. Applications for the next academic
year 2004/2005 should be submitted by May 1st, 2004.
