Advanced PhD Courses

The Kiel Institute offers external PhD students and professionals the opportunity to participate in advanced courses of its high-level ASP Kiel Ph.D program. The courses are at the frontier of current economic research and are taught by leading economists in their field.

Over the years, hundreds of external participants have attended our ASP courses, in particular PhD students from all over the world, as well as professionals from international institutions, ministries, central banks, think tanks or the financial sector. All courses are taught in English and at our institute facilities in Kiel.
