 Hi everyone, I am Kristof Speyers and I graduated from Tilbrook University in 2011. Since then I have been at the finance department of HSE Paris, where I recently got tenure. If you are considering pursuing a PhD in finance, I would highly recommend Tilbrook. One reason for this is that the interaction you have with faculty on a day to day basis is just amazing. Students and faculty frequently have lunch together, in any case you run into each other all the time, because the offices of the PhD students are just scattered between those of faculty. All this makes it very easy to discuss your research plans with the many excellent researchers and to get early feedback and advice that is just invaluable. It also leads to a lot of research collaborations between faculty and students that can really kickstart an academic career. So seriously consider Tilbrook when making your choice, you won't regret it.
