Pre-doc

The Master in Economic Research is an ideal pre-doc master in economics that you can use as a springboard to your dream PhD programme. You can choose to fulfil part of the study requirements by taking PhD-level courses improving the chances of admission to the PhD programmes you plan to apply for. Our faculty members maintain professional-level contacts with faculty members at a wide range of top universities both in US and in Europe and frequently write letters of recommendations for PhD applicants. We are on a constant lookout for talent and are waiting to be impressed by your brilliance and skills during the courses you take or the research assistantships you do. Applications to our own PhD programme by the students who have done well in the Master in Economic Research are typically successful. Below is the list of people who used CERGE-EI as a stepping stone to a prestigious PhD programme, or entered our PhD programme via the master’s programme.
