In exceptional circumstances, you may ask to be admitted directly to the first year of the PhD (without completing the preliminary MRes year). However, please note that these applicants would normally not be considered for school scholarships. During your studies, you may have the opportunity to attend masterclasses from visiting academic experts. In recent years, we have seen Petr Sedlacek, Oxford, and Pontus Rendahl, Cambridge, speak about computational macro and Andres Rodriguez-Clare, Berkeley, on trade, industrial policy and welfare.
