Bachelor's Degree
Our five-year PhD program includes two years of structured coursework followed by three years of independent research (with an optional sixth year for thesis completion).
The initial year matches an MSc in Economics, and applicants holding an equivalent qualification with at least a 2:1 grade may qualify for direct entry into the second year. During Year 2, students complete advanced doctoral courses and develop their research proposal, forming the foundation for the following three research years.
The program's design mirrors leading US and UK institutions, offering comprehensive advanced training and ample time for original research to enhance graduates' career prospects.
