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.
Benefits
The scholarship will run for a maximum of 5 years. Each year’s funding is conditional on successful progression and acceptance into the PhD programme and includes:
- Tuition fees at the standard Home/EU or international rate
- An annual bursary equivalent to the RCUK rate – £19,795 for 2025/26 (estimate)
- During the 3 PhD years there will be a research support grant of £4,925 per annum
Requirements
You must:
- Hold an offer for the MRes Economics starting in September 2025.
- Meet the entry requirements for admission to the MRes program.
