The MPhil in Economic Research is the first year of a four-year route to a full-time PhD or seven-year route to a part-time PhD and runs from early September to the end of July. The MPhil in Economic Research is the foundation year for the PhD programme and involves a thorough study of the core areas of economics and the requirement to explore one area in detail in order to begin the process of choosing a PhD research topic. However, please note that it is not necessary to have a detailed proposal for PhD research at the time of applying. Learning Outcomes On completion of the MPhil degree students should have: acquired advanced technical training in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics; acquired, through optional papers, some knowledge of work at the frontiers of the subject in particular areas; begun to acquire independent research skills and experience of putting them into practice; acquired experience and guidance in formulating a realistic research topic and prepared written work to a strict timetable; and acquired sufficient knowledge and understanding of advanced economics to proceed to a research degree.
