Program Description
The University College Dublin (UCD) School of Economics runs a thriving Ph.D. program that offers rigorous training and expert supervision. The program is designed to prepare students for top-level jobs in academia, institutions, and the private sector. The program consists of two phases: the MLitt phase (Year 1) and the Ph.D. phase (Years 2-4). The MLitt phase is dedicated to coursework, which equips students to carry out independent research. During the Ph.D. phase, students carry out independent research. Each student is assigned a supervisor based on mutual interest as well as a Research Studies Panel, consisting of two additional faculty members. More details on the MLitt/Ph.D. program can be found in the program guidelines here.
Applications for the program MLitt/Ph.D. program opened on the 1st of November 2020 and will close in August 2021.
How to Apply
On the website, applicants need to apply for the MLitt program. If their application is successful, they will transfer to the Ph.D. register after completing the course phase in year 1. The application code is W115 (MLitt full-time) or W160 (MLitt PT).
To be admitted to the Ph.D. Program in Economics, students must have completed a Masters in Economics comparable to our school’s MSc programs. Admission to the MLitt/Ph.D. program will depend on the candidate’s qualifications in terms of grades, English language skills, reference letters, and the availability of faculty to provide thesis supervision. For details of the English language requirements of this program, see here.
The program will commence in September and will run for a period of 48 months. Applications in the area of Environmental and Behavioral Economics are welcomed.
