Economics offers full-time Ph.D. by research. We provide students with a stimulating research environment which merges academic rigour with intellectual breadth. The programme equips students with a strong knowledge of economic theory and analytical techniques, which enables them to conduct solid research in their chosen field of specialization. The curriculum includes coursework, participation in seminars and workshops, as well as research under the mentorship of research supervisor(s). The programme generally takes four years to complete. It begins with one year of intensive study in the core subjects of economics (Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and Quantitative Methods), culminating in the submission of a thesis which documents the results of original research. The programme has a small student-to-faculty ratio, which fosters research collaboration between students and faculty members. Students also receive training in research and teaching methods.

A good first degree in Economics or related field from a highly ranked university, with at least second upper honours. An adequate background in Mathematics/Quantitative Methods is required. An excellent GRE score, especially in the quantitative section (minimum requirement: Verbal & Quantitative Reasoning 319 out of 340 and Analytical Writing 3.5 out of 6.0). GRE is not required from NTU, NUS or SMU graduates.
One of the important factors when considering a master's degree is the cost of study. Luckily, there are many options available to help students fund their master's programme. Download your copy of the Scholarship Guide to find out which scholarships from around the world could be available to you, and how to apply for them.
NTU continually refreshes its pedagogies and curriculum (including co-curriculum) to cater to new learning paradigms and students’ diverse interests, as well as to foster interdisciplinary competencies that help NTU graduates become adaptable lifelong learners.
The University currently offers single degree, double degree, integrated and special programmes. There are also several double major programmes and the option to do a second major or a minor. As part of a holistic curriculum, all freshmen now undergo a common interdisciplinary collaborative core curriculum and do internships. SkillsFuture Work-Study Degree programmes also provide deep industry exposure and enhance employability.
NTU Education, a strategic blueprint for undergraduate education, supports how students learn and provides them with opportunities to develop skills that will enable them to face the future with optimism and confidence. It emphasises leadership, communication, teamwork, ethics and digital literacy, and caters to new ways of learning, embedding the latest teaching practices, including the use of flipped classrooms and next-generation mega learning for interactive and team-based learning, online lessons, as well as residential education at the NTU halls of residence.
NTU allows credits from pre-approved Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) hosted on Coursera, edX and FutureLearn to be used to fulfil degree requirements.
NTU’s graduate academic and research programmes, a number of which are ranked among the best globally, cater to students from Singapore and around the world. The university’s network of global partners for joint/dual PhD programmes has grown over the years through the establishment of new research collaborations with internationally renowned universities.
The NTU Graduate College, headed by a Dean, provides strategic oversight and academic leadership on all graduate education matters in the University. It hosts the Interdisciplinary Graduate Programme, which supports research students working on interdisciplinary projects that cover two or more disciplines, such as artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
