- Please specify the option modules you intend to take, if known.
- For all applications, two academic references are required. Unfortunately, we cannot consider applications until we have received both references.

Research degrees
As one of the top economics divisions in the UK, we are highly respected and recognised internationally in many fields. We offer an active and stimulating research environment in which our postgraduate research students play a crucial part.
We have approximately 30 full-time academic staff. Our PhD programme is small enough (between five and 10 new students admitted each year) to provide detailed PhD supervision but large enough to offer expertise in many fields. Supervision is offered in all the main areas of economics and econometrics.
All our PhD students take advanced units designed specifically for doctoral level.
