Make an original and significant contribution to knowledge in the field of Economics under the tutelage of high profile academics.

The aim of the UNSW Business School's Doctoral Program in Economics is to train you with the skills to identify, analyse and solve problems using original academic research in this field.

In the first year, you will attend rigorous coursework in micro and macro-economic theory, econometrics, and applied economic analysis.

In the second year, you will specialise in one of various fields within Economics by enrolling in field courses and attending field-specific lunches and seminars.

The last two years are completely dedicated to your research project, culminating in a doctoral thesis.

You will be involved in research projects from an early stage and enjoy the interdisciplinary engagement with a high-quality cohort of research students across the whole Business School. There will also be exciting opportunities to develop your teaching portfolio.

Ultimately, your PhD thesis will showcase your research skills and contributions your research makes to knowledge by offering original insights into the field.
