Graduates of the program are well-equipped to attract the attention of international organizations, globally recognized research institutions, and private sector entities specializing in economic data analysis. Additionally, the program also caters to students considering a future Ph.D., equipping them with the foundational skills and rigorous training needed to excel in advanced research. The Ph.D. in Economics aims to provide rigorous economic theory and econometrics training to enable our students to conduct cutting-edge original research in economics. Our aim is for our graduates to can successfully compete internationally for employment at Universities, research institutions, public policy organizations, and the private sector. Past graduates of the programme are now employed in renowned Universities abroad, as well as in several academic institutions in Cyprus. We seek candidates with strong analytical skills, a background in quantitative methods (not necessarily in Economics) and a passion for research. Students coming directly from undergraduate studies, or without prior research-oriented graduate studies in Economics, are typically first enrolled in the Master in Economic Analysis, where they can complete the required coursework. Admitted students can also have the opportunity to transfer credits from similar classes taken in other universities. FUNDING: The Department makes every effort possible to ensure that the doctoral students have enough income to live independently during their studies. The Department covers the tuition fees of its incoming full-time Ph.D. students. In addition to this, most students are offered financial aid, in the form of scholarships or teaching assistantships, which allows them to cover their living costs. Students who are initially enrolled in the Master of Economic Analysis are also eligible for funding. Typically, the initial offer of financial support covers the first year of studies. Renewal of the support beyond the first year is usually offered to students who are admitted to the research stage of the Ph.D. programme. The Department tries its best to clarify the financial support that incoming students should expect as soon as possible. Oftentimes, this is done already when the Department offers a position to the applicant in the programme or soon after that. The Department offers additional funding for participation in conferences, enrolment in summer/winter schools and online courses, as well as it provides opportunities for research visits in renowned research institutions. In the past decade, the Department has financially supported all its full-time Ph.D. students throughout their studies and a substantial number of students enrolled in the Master in Economic Analysis. PROGRAMME STRUCTURE: Both programmes share the same coursework stage. The students take core courses in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics and Econometrics, as well as a course in Mathematics, two courses in Topics in Current Economic Research and additional elective courses that help them deepen their knowledge in specific research areas. Students who are enrolled in the Master of Economic Analysis can choose between attending several elective courses or writing a Master's thesis. If a graduate of the Master in Economic Analysis continues its studies to pursue a Ph.D. in Economics then the credits from courses completed in the Master's programme are transferred. Ph.D. Students with sufficiently high performance in the core courses obtain the right to take the comprehensive exam. Students who are enrolled in the Ph.D. Programme and successfully complete the coursework stage, but do not meet the requirements to enter research stage of the Ph.D. Programme can graduate with a Master in Economic Analysis. Success in the comprehensive exam gives the student the right to proceed to the programme’s research stage. During the research stage, the student conducts research under a Research Advisor’s guidance, intending to write a doctoral dissertation. APPLICATION PROCESS: Applications will open soon! First Deadline: 30/03/2025 Second Evaluation Round: 30/04/2025 Final Deadline: 30/06/2025 Applications received after the first deadline are evaluated on a rolling basis. Interested candidates are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to ensure that they can be evaluated while there are still available positions and funding opportunities.

Program and courses The Master’s program in Economics is an excellent choice if you want to acquire the skills to address today’s societal challenges. The program is taught by internationally renowned economics professors from Tilburg University. With many international fellow students, there is a great diversity of nationalities in your classroom. Compose your own curriculum or specialize with one of six different tracks: Behavioral Economics: Address economic problems and questions involving people’s behavior and behavioral change. Become an economist trained to take both the economics and the psychology of behavior into account, as well as the ways it can be affected by policies and strategies. This is a track of MSc Economics. Data Science: Become an economist with hands-on experience in processing and interpreting unstructured (big) data sets. With a strong foundation in statistical modeling and additional training in programming languages, you will have the right skillset to understand the economic value of data and to become an ''analytics translator'': a person who can bridge the technical expertise of data engineers with the end user in any organization (managers, policy makers, etc.). This is a track of MSc Economics. Financial Economics: Combine practical financial management with economic analysis of the markets you invest in. You will address for example urgent problems in the Euro zone, international financial supervision, micro-finance, bank-runs and systemic risk, and taxation of financial institutions. This is a track of MSc Economics. Public Policy: Study important domestic public policy issues, ranging from reduced income inequality and job security, to an affordable health care and pension system. Upon graduation you are an economic expert on how governments can achieve such critical goals, design effective solutions, and finance these activities. This is a track of MSc Economics Sustainable Development: Analyze the sources of economic growth in a country or region, the obstacles to growth and development they face, and their potential negative environmental consequences. Upon graduation you have become trained to evaluate and write policies and strategies towards economic development and sustainable resource use. This is a track of MSc Economics. Typical courses are: Financial Economics Econometrics Behavioral Economics of Social Interaction Career prospects Upon graduating you will have obtained the following title (as stated on your diploma): Master of Science. The Master's in Economics qualification gives you a competitive advantage in any career that requires sound economic knowledge, strong economic intuition, and sharp analytical and problem-solving skills. Some examples of our graduates' careers: Consultant at The World Bank Financial Business Analyst at Unilever Policy advisor at the Treasury Start dates End of August End of January
Develop expertise in tackling real-world problems in the Master's in Economics, together with students from around the world. With an understanding of how social interaction leads to problems such as biodiversity loss, climate change, poverty, and inequality, you will be better equipped to help governments, businesses and NGOs develop effective strategies and policies.
The number of scholarships is limited and mainly targeted at students with excellent study results.
