The Adam Smith Business School offers a prestigious combined MRes/PhD training scheme in Economics. It starts with the 2 years MRes programme.
Candidates who complete the MRes at a sufficiently high level will be given priority for admission into the 3-4 years PhD stage. Funding is annually renewable and includes small teaching obligation starting from year 2.
The University of Glasgow will fund up to six studentships covering tuition fees and a stipend for up to five years to enable students to receive comprehensive MRes (pre-PhD) training and to subsequently undertake supervised independent research in a chosen field of economics, leading to a PhD.
