We welcome applications from students who wish to do PhDs in areas of research covered by members of the School. Most major areas of the discipline are included although we have particular strengths in macroeconomics, labour economics, applied microeconomics, time-series econometrics, agri-environmental economics, international trade and finance, and migration.
We aim to provide you with an environment in which you can both develop as an economist and complete a high quality thesis and to provide you with the appropriate resources to achieve this. You can expect committed supervision, to be able to make regular appointments with your supervisor(s) to discuss your work, to receive timely and constructive feedback on all the work that you do, and to receive advice on how to present your work externally. In the most recent national Postgraduate Research Student Survey the School of Economics scored 100% for all questions relating to supervision, underlining our commitment to creating an excellent environment for our research students.
We have two specialised research centres focused on European-wide research and policy analysis – the Centre for European Agri-Environmental Studies (CEAS) and the Centre for European, Regional and Transport Economics (CERTE).

During your first year you will be required to attend our Research Methods module and some other taught modules, to hone research skills and techniques.

The Graduate School runs a series of skills training workshops for research students. All first year PhD students are required to complete a skills audit which encourages you to consider your existing portfolio of skills, as well as the skills that you hope to acquire while doing your doctoral research. In addition research students who are required to teach can take part in an initial teacher training session and enrol for the Associate Teacher Accreditation Programme.
