The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) in Economics at Aberystwyth University gives you the platform to conduct original academic research that makes a new contribution to your specific field of study. You can make new discoveries, test new theories and push the boundaries of current knowledge and understanding.
Members of staff are always happy to discuss possible PhD and MPhil research programmes in Economics with suitably qualified graduates.
Research should normally be related to one of the main areas of research of the department.
Your research will be guided by a supervisory team, who will help you refine your research proposal, and guide you in data collection and analysis. At the end of your studies, you will have a viva voce exam (a verbal defence of your thesis).
