Overview

The Research Master in Economics from Erasmus University Rotterdam is a small-scale, intensive programme for students who want to pursue a PhD in Economics, Econometrics or Finance.

The programme offers a research training equivalent to training in the first two years of PhD programmes at top US economics faculties. This implies a first year of rigorous and common training in core subjects of economics, econometrics, and finance at a high level that can only be managed by a selected group of students. In the second year, students specialise in their choice from among the institute’s many fields of research through field course work and research master thesis research.

Career opportunities after graduation

Ask any of TI’s over 750 PhD alumni, and they will tell you that a PhD degree from Tinbergen Institute opens the doors of opportunity.

Programme Structure

Throughout the first year, students join organised visits to the research departments of the partner schools. During these visits, students are introduced to all research groups connected to the programme, meet with scholars and learn about the ongoing research projects.
