The University of Lausanne has a distinguished history of scholarship in economics and aspires to remain a leading center for economic research and learning. The aim of our PhD program in Economics is to attract excellent students with a two-year master’s degree in economics or a related field and help them develop their potential to become independent economists who thrive in the academic, public, and private sector. Many of our PhD students succeed at publishing their research in leading international peer-reviewed journals, and our alumni easily find work at research-oriented organizations in the academic, public, or private sector (PhD placements).
