Advanced Research degree in Economics (MRes in Economics)

The Advanced Research degree in Economics (MRes in Economics) year consists in a final year of advanced, specialized courses. Students should select 7 courses (1 credit per course), attend a 'workshop'/work group (2 credits) and present some original research work in September. 

After the M2 ETE, the Advanced Research degree in Economics (MRes in Economics) year is the first year of the PhD program at TSE. MRes in Economics students follow advanced courses in order to reach the knowledge frontier of their research fields. Each student must select 7 courses and attend a workshop. The MRes in Economics must be validated by the production and the defense of a research paper in the fall following the academic year.
