Accounting is the language of business, facilitating communication of the financial aspects of business. Our PhD programme helps students understand the world of accounting organisations on a fundamental level. Students will focus on methodological issues in accounting and finance empirical research, and be equipped with necessary knowledge and skills to complete their dissertations. Students will work closely with supervisors in a highly collaborative environment that allows to share different experiences and ideas.

I applied to NUS because of its reputation for quality research and curriculum. On a typical day as an accounting PhD student, I read research, work on data and discuss my studies with schoolmates and professors. What I enjoy the most as a PhD student here is the highly collaborative environment with my professors and peers – they provide great insights to my work.
