The PhD Quantitative Economic History is designed for those with both a strong grounding in undergraduate economics and Masters-level methodological training who wish to take the first steps towards a PhD in Quantitative Economic History. You will need to meet certain criteria to progress through to the PhD stage of the programme. Study for the MRes includes substantive courses in economics and economic history and the production of research paper in quantitative economic history, as well as a research prospectus. The PhD is the final stage of the programme where you will be expected to produce a PhD thesis comprised of three publishable research papers. During this period you will build on the formal training provided through the MRes and develop your research skills and scholarly abilities. You will gain professional experience in how to present your findings at workshops held regularly in the Department.
