About this position

[£22,780 (to be confirmed), including £2,000 London Allowance. SEDarc competitive student-led scholarships are available through the ESRC-funded South-East Doctoral Training Arc partnership.]

Royal Holloway, University of London is advertising a PhD Studentship in Economics through its Department of Economics, a research-active department with a strong REF2021 performance in economics and econometrics. The programme is designed for students who want to pursue original doctoral research in economics within a supportive and intellectually active environment.

The PhD is offered as a full-time 4-year programme, with a part-time 8-year route also available. In the first year, students receive advanced economics training before moving into independent research that contributes something original to the field. The department notes a strong placement record, with graduates moving on to academia, research organisations, government, international bodies, and the private sector.

Applicants should normally hold an MSc in Economics or a related field with strong quantitative skills. Candidates without an MSc may be considered for the combined MSc and PhD route. A key requirement is a viable research project supported by a potential supervisor, so applicants are encouraged to identify and discuss supervision well before the deadline. The department also advises prospective students to consult its research centres when searching for suitable supervisory fit.

Funding information includes a stipend of £22,780 (to be confirmed), which includes a £2,000 London Allowance. The university is also a partner in SEDarc, an ESRC-funded South-East Doctoral Training Arc, which offers competitive student-led scholarships each year. Applicants for SEDarc funding are expected to demonstrate strong quantitative preparation and provide a robust research proposal with supervisory support. Details for the funding route will be posted on the university’s SEDarc page in the autumn.

The application deadline for the Department of Economics is 12 noon on Friday 11 December 2026. Applicants should use the university’s research degrees application webpage under “how to apply” to submit their application.
