Overview

About the programme

Research may be single-discipline or interdisciplinary, theoretical or applied. The research is led by the student but closely supervised by an experienced multi-institutional supervisory team, whose knowledge and skills are complementary to the specific project.

The supervisory team for this Economics programme will consist of a primary supervisor at Northeastern University London, a second primary supervisor at the University of Kent and a secondary supervisor within the Northeastern Global University System.

General requirements

The University welcomes applications from candidates who have attained upper second class honours in their undergraduate degree or an international equivalent.
We encourage applications from candidates who have studied a wide range of subjects at undergraduate level, as we recognise the interdisciplinary nature of studying the humanities and social sciences and the insights that students of different disciplines including the natural sciences can bring.
We also accept applications from mature students who have been out of education for a while, if they can demonstrate relevant professional experience or equivalent qualifications, together with the potential to thrive as a postgraduate student at Northeastern University London.
Each application will be assessed on an individual basis through their application, a reference and a personal statement.
