Our Economics PhD program serves as the second phase of a comprehensive four-year journey, beginning with the one-year MRes Economics course followed by a three-year PhD (with potential extensions available). Graduates from our PhD program are highly valued by prestigious economics departments, business schools, and research centers globally. The initial year focuses on core modules covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics alongside research development, while the remaining two years are devoted entirely to independent research culminating in a doctoral thesis.
