Submit your application for postgraduate study at the UB School of Economics

Applications for all postgraduate programmes at the Universitat de Barcelona School of Economics are now open. Our institution offers a graduate programme in Economics, encompassing an MSc in Economics and a PhD in Economics. Candidates are advised to apply as early as possible in the admissions cycle. The applications deadline for the master’s programme is June 15th 2018, but the application period is shorter for the doctoral programme and closes on May 15^th 2018.

Future MSc in Economics students will develop their research skills in Economics through a broad selection of courses entirely taught in English by our top researchers over two academic years. They will share the class with around 25 other students coming from around the world. Last year, Europeans represented the 47% of the class. Students from the Americas accounted for 21%, followed by Asia and Middle East/Africa, with 18% and 14% respectively. Candidates can expect to find a majority colleagues with a background in Economics, while others hold a degree in Business, Engineering, Mathematics or Physics.

The PhD in Economics provides a stimulating research environment that attracts students from around the world. Most PhD students come from top universities in Europe and the Americas. An increasing proportion of students come from universities across Asia and the Middle East. The UB School of Economics has the privilege to include top academics in all the fields of Economics. Former PhD students have been placed in academic research institutions such as LSE, University of Sussex, University of Warwick, Northwestern University, Heidelberg University as well as international organisations and governmental institutions.

Both programmes are high quality degrees which are valued by employers. The MSc in Economics has been accredited with Excellence by the Universities Council and the Additional Dimension of Internationalisation with the maximum score. On the other hand, the PhD in Economics is one of only a small number of doctoral programmes in Spain to have received the Quality Award for Research Excellence from the Ministry of Education.
