PhD Courses

Shuling Chen Lillemo

The required coursework component of the PhD programme in Economics is 60 ECTS.

In collaboration with the supervisor, the doctoral student will assemble the course package. This is part of the study plan and must be approved by the Department. Depending on their background, PhD candidates may also be required to take some courses at a lower level prior to formal enrolment in the PhD programme.

These are the options for completing the coursework component :
