Financial Economics MRes + MPhil/PhD

The MRes and PhD in Financial Economics is a joint programme between the UCL Department of Economics and the UCL School of Management. The UCL School of Management offers scholarships to cover tuition fees and living expenses of admitted students who apply by the January 2024 application window.

The MRes will firstly provide quantitative training in microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, and finance. These will be taught in the context of cutting-edge research and relevant applications. Secondly, it will provide you with analytical frameworks and transferable skills that will allow you to identify relevant and promising research topics, present ideas in order to obtain feedback, and provide feedback yourself.

The subsequent years (for students who progress from the MRes to MPhil) will focus on the skills you will need to run research projects to completion and to present these to various kinds of specialised audiences. Likewise, teaching skills will also be developed.
