As a PhD student at the Department of Economics, you become an integral part of our research community. Research activity is organised around the main research centres: CREEd (economics of education), EcHo (applied economics), MaLEc (macroeconomics and labour economics), MaTE (economic theory) and RIDE (econometrics).
PhD students participate in the department’s research life in many ways:
The department organises PhD seminars during the academic year and an Annual PhD Conference every spring. These events offer our PhD students the opportunity to present their work in a familiar environment and to obtain feedback from colleagues outside their supervisory team.
The department invites external speakers from other universities and research organisations to present their work during our weekly research seminars. Our PhD students are invited to attend and participate in these seminars and are encouraged to meet with the speakers to discuss their own research.
The department provides funds for PhD students to present their work at conferences, such as the Royal Economics Society or the European Econometric society annual conferences.
Finally, PhD students can also engage with the inter-disciplinary research activities organised by the Doctoral School at Royal Holloway (such as Research Community Hub, Interdisciplinary RHUL PhD conference, etc.).
