The MLitt program spans at least two years. During the initial year (starting in September), students must enroll full-time and complete the MSc in Economics curriculum. After successfully finishing the MSc with honors, the student, guided by their supervisory committee, creates a study plan blending coursework, independent reading, and research. By the conclusion of the second year, the student must submit their thesis. If the thesis meets PhD-level standards and the student achieves a minimum 60% grade in the program, they will be offered the opportunity to progress to the PhD program.
Entry to the programme normally requires students to have obtained at least a 2.I in Economics in their primary degree. However, the Department will also consider applications from students that have obtained at least a 2.I in a postgraduate Higher Diploma programme specializing in Economics.
Applicants must have a recognised primary degree which is considered equivalent to Irish university primary degree level.
