The PhD in Economics is a competitive degree aiming to rank among the best flagship Economics programmes in Europe. Importantly, it blends an innovative curricular part, with a unique research environment that promotes close interaction with the faculty. 

Studying a PhD in Economics in Trinity College Dublin will also become part of a collaborative community of researchers within our department (www.tcd.ie/economics/people). Students will have the opportunity to interact with a wider set of researchers and PhD students within College (www.tcd.ie/triss/) and Ireland (https://sites.google.com/view/yiess/home?authuser=0). The Department of Economics encourages its PhD students to engage and interact with all seminars and present their own research in front of our faculty members. The programme also supports applications for external funding and facilitates conference participation and academic publication. 

Trinity sits in the heart of Dublin's city centre and over the centuries the city has grown around the university. Today, this is a great advantage for our students. To learn more about our university's location, visit https://www.tcd.ie/study/international/why-trinity/location/.
