Program details
Overview
York's PhD in Economics focuses on applied economic theory, building on the department's one-year, course-based MA and extending it into an independent research doctorate. Students have access to extensive resources, including library subscriptions to major economics journals and computer labs available around the clock, along with three Unix-based servers running applications such as Gauss, S-Plus, Garch, Wavelet, SAS, Stata, IMSL, and Unix versions of Maple and TSP. The program is completed through comprehensive examinations, a major research paper, and a dissertation. Admission decisions are made on a rolling basis as applications are received, so early submission is encouraged. The degree is offered full-time, with Fall entry only, and suits students aiming for research or academic careers in applied economics who want access to specialized computing infrastructure alongside their coursework and research training.
