About us
The Department of Economics at Royal Holloway is one of the top economics departments in the country with a wide range of expertise, including labour economics, development economics, microeconomic theory, and experimental economics. In the latest Research Excellence Framework (REF2014), we were ranked 9th in the UK in terms of world-leading and internationally excellent research.
The Department is home to about 30 research active staff and 30 PhD students from over 20 countries. We offer a stimulating research environment and a vibrant PhD programme with advanced economics training in the first year and a great placement record.
The PhD student community is relatively small, thereby ensuring a consistently high level of interaction between the students and academics. Our students benefit from advanced economics training in their first year and have an opportunity to present their ongoing research and receive feedback in our PhD seminar series.
Research facilities and environment
The Department of Economics at Royal Holloway has strength across all main fields of the discipline, and so supervision can be offered in most areas of research. Our staff members are renowned for their work in theoretical and applied microeconomics, labour economics, development economics, and experimental economics. The faculty also pursues multidisciplinary topics and benefits from interaction with the Computer Science and Psychology departments, among others.
Being a PhD student at the Department of Economics, you become an integral part of our research community. Research students are encouraged to sign up for meetings with external seminar speakers, to attend conferences and to start building their academic networks. Every Spring, the Department organises an Annual PhD Conference with invited speakers and students from other universities.
Assessment
You will begin on the MPhil degree for the first two years and will need to meet certain requirements to progress - to upgrade - to the PhD student status.
Your future career
The department actively supports the placement of PhD graduates in positions at universities, research institutes, government agencies, and private corporations. Examples of recent placements include:
Candidates for a place on the MPhil/PhD programme should have completed an undergraduate degree and a taught Masters in Economics, with a distinction or a high pass, in a relevant subject.
