About the department

The Department of Economics at City St George’s, University of London is a leading centre of excellence for research and teaching in economics. The department comprises over 45 faculty members organised in three research groups: macroeconomics and finance, applied microeconomics, and economic theory and experiments, and two research Centres (the Centre for Competition and Regulatory Policy and the City Health Economics Centre). Our faculty produces world-leading and internationally excellent research on topics including, among others, health economics, the economics of crime, development economics, public economics, behavioural/experimental economics, microeconomic theory, macroeconomics, and finance. We also have strong links with other departments and research centres in the School of Policy and Global Affairs, offering potential for interdisciplinary research in politics, sociology, or criminology.

About the programme

Upon joining our PhD programme, you will become part of a close-knit community of like-minded researchers. Our PhD researchers actively participate in our research activities by collaborating with faculty and fellow PhD students, presenting their research at seminars, and interacting regularly with our academics. Over the three years of the programme, you will take PhD-level courses to enhance your research skills, get the opportunity to participate in advanced training programmes and summer schools, attend research seminars delivered by leading international researchers, and receive regular feedback from both your supervisory team and the rest of the department. You will also get opportunities to work as a teaching assistant to receive additional funding, develop your teaching skills and prepare for your future career. Our graduates have pursued careers both in academia, at top departments including UCL, LSE, King’s College or the University of Nottingham, and outside of academia at world-leading institutions including the IMF and central banks world-wide.
