This is a four-year programme. The first year includes an induction workshop covering topics including research integrity and ethical research. It is followed by a range of advanced modules delivered by the Department or by our ESRC NWSSDTP partners at the Universities of Manchester and Liverpool.
The final three years of the PhD programme are dedicated to full-time research to complete your doctoral thesis. Upon completing the programme, you will have a comprehensive understanding of economic theory and its applications, as well as the ability to think critically and apply quantitative methods to economic problems.
Typical PhD modules
Research Skills for Economists
Microeconometrics
Applied Macroeconomics
Microeconomics
After completing the taught component of the programme, those students who perform well and pass qualifying coursework and examinations proceed to develop a substantive research proposal (ECON880) under the guidance of their supervisory team. The research proposal is essentially a preliminary draft of your first research paper, which builds upon the advanced research training undertaken throughout the year. You will defend your research proposal in an upgrade/confirmation panel that takes place in September.
