Economics PhD sits in a competitive part of the UK market, which works in your favour once you know which departments to aim at. Doctoral study normally runs 3 years and is built around your own research, supervised rather than taught.
Teaching in Economics balances finance, strategy and people management so you are not locked into one path. We currently work with 40 universities on this course across 30 cities.
The lowest English requirement we hold on this course is IELTS 6.5, and departments asking more than that usually expect a stronger academic record too. Tuition ranges from £15.000 to £28.000 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.
The fastest way to narrow this down is to send us your grades and English score. We will come back with a shortlist rather than a brochure.
One of the strongest signalling degrees for finance, consulting and government, and the mathematical content is what recruiters read it for. Applicants aiming at economist posts should check the course has enough econometrics.
A master's in economics is close to mandatory for the Government Economic Service and for most economist job titles.
