Our comprehensive 2+4 MRes/PhD research programme provides exceptionally high quality training in advanced economics. We aim to provide students with professional training in modern economics techniques as well as knowledge of their field. This includes tools and techniques of analysis at the forefront of the discipline and opportunities to apply this in extended research.
