About this position
PhD Studentship in Economics at Royal Holloway, University of London (Egham, England, United Kingdom).
The Department of Economics offers a small, research-intensive PhD environment with advanced economics training in the first year and a four-year full-time route (or eight-year part-time route). The programme emphasizes independent research leading to an original contribution in economics, with strong placement outcomes in academia, research organisations, government, international bodies, and the private sector.
Research area: Economics, econometrics, quantitative methods, and related empirical research. Applicants are encouraged to identify a potential supervisor and consult the department’s research centres when shaping a viable research proposal.
Eligibility highlights: An MSc in Economics or a related field is preferred, with good quantitative skills. Applicants without an MSc may apply via the combined MSc and PhD route. A viable research project supported by a potential supervisor is required.
Funding: Funding opportunities may be available through the South-East Doctoral Training Arc (SEDarc), a partnership of six UK universities funded by the ESRC. SEDarc scholarships are competitive and student-led; the post does not promise funding for every applicant.
Deadline: Department deadline is 12 noon on Friday 11 December 2026. SEDarc funding details will be posted on the university’s SEDarc page in the autumn.
How to apply: Use the university’s application webpage under “how to apply.” Review the SEDarc page separately if you want to be considered for funding.
