(Dante Alighieri, Inferno, Canto XXVI)
The Economics Department is committed to the advancement of economics and to providing teaching and supervision to PhD and MA Students at the highest international level. The research activities of the Department reflect the interests of the current faculty members and are concentrated in the three broad areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics; hence there are weekly research seminars which are given by top scholars from around the world.
The teaching in the doctoral programme is based on formal coursework at a level which will allow researchers to pursue successful academic careers in leading universities and to follow professional opportunities in international organisations. Students in their third and fourth years work on their thesis projects under the guidance of their supervisor and attend the Department’s workshops and seminars.
The Economics Department has launched a new MA in European Economics, with researcher applications now being accepted for the 2012/13 academic year. The one-year degree will include intensive coursework in Economics, combined with field courses with European content.
