Overview

All students starting the DPhil are admitted with Probationer Research Student status (PRS) in the first instance. You will take additional courses from the MPhil menu to deepen and broaden your economic training, while starting to work on your first research project.

Features

The PRS status allows for a smooth transition from learning about economic research to producing new economic insights yourself.

If you haven’t completed the MPhil in Economics at University of Oxford, you will usually be required to take a year of coursework taking papers from either the first and/or second year of the MPhil course.
