The M.Phil program offers a strong basis for pursuing doctoral research, as well as equipping students with the advanced expertise and abilities necessary for a professional economist role in government or the private sector. Many M.Phil graduates have achieved notable success in economics or related fields. This program is highly recommended for individuals who have not pursued any prior graduate studies in economics.
The department has created the M.Phil program with the purpose of allowing students to customize their course according to their individual needs and goals. Students aiming for a career as a professional economist will benefit from the diverse range of options and opportunities for skill development offered by the M.Phil program. Additionally, for those who are uncertain about pursuing further studies beyond the master's level, the two-year duration of the M.Phil program will provide ample time to make an informed decision after gaining a deeper understanding of graduate economic training.
