    Description

    The Ph.D. in Economics at the University of Cyprus aims to provide rigorous economic theory and
    econometrics training to enable our students to conduct cutting-edge original research in economics. Our
    aim is for our graduates to can successfully compete internationally for employment at Universities, research
    institutions, public policy organizations, and the private sector.

    The Department of Economics provides a strong research-oriented academic environment, with faculty
    members with research interests spanning across various fields in Economics and Econometrics. Tilburg
    University Research Ranking, which measures research output in Economics journals, has been ranking the
    University of Cyprus consistently within the top 100 institutions in Europe, and around the world’s top 200.

    The program begins with the coursework stage. The students take core courses in Microeconomics,
    Macroeconomics and Econometrics, and elective courses that help them deepen their knowledge in specific
    research areas. Students with sufficiently high performance in the core courses obtain the right to take the
    comprehensive exam. Success in the comprehensive exam gives the student the right to proceed to the
    programme’s research stage. During the research stage, the student conducts research under a Research
    Advisor’s guidance, intending to write a doctoral dissertation.

    We seek candidates with strong analytical skills, a background in quantitative methods (not necessarily in
    Economics) and a passion for research. Students coming directly from undergraduate studies, or without
    prior research-oriented graduate studies in Economics, are typically first enrolled in the Master in Economic
    Analysis, where they can complete the required coursework. Admitted students can also have the
    opportunity to transfer credits from similar classes taken in other universities.

    Funding
    The Department makes every effort possible to ensure that the doctoral students have enough income to
    live independently during their studies. The Department covers the tuition fees of incoming full-time Ph.D.
    students. In addition to this, most students are offered financial aid, in the form of scholarships or teaching
    assistantships, which allows them to cover their living costs. Students who are initially enrolled in the Master
    of Economic Analysis are also eligible for funding.

    In the past decade, the Department has financially supported all its full-time Ph.D. students throughout
    their studies and a substantial number of students enrolled in the Master in Economic Analysis.
