Italy : PhD in Economics at the Department of Economics

The PhD in Economics at the Department of Economics - University of Bologna aims at training students for a career as economists in academic institutions or in research departments of corporations, public organizations, financial institutions and the government.
The program is organized according to international standards and is taught in English. In the first year students are asked to take six courses in quantitative methods, microeconomics and macroeconomics. By the end of the first year they will also have to choose a field of
specialization and a research supervisor. In the second year, students will choose six more advanced courses consistent with their field of specialization. The rest of the program is devoted to work on the dissertation. To this aim students will be asked to present their
papers in the monthly PhD informal meetings and in the more formal second and third year PhD Forums. The considerable diversification of research areas covered by the members of the DSE and their international reputation provide an outstanding environment where students of most fields in economics may find research ideas and tight guidance for their doctoral studies. The Department of Economics of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia is a partner institution in
the PhD Program.
