SGPE PhD Training Sequence

Welcome to the website of the Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics PhD Training Sequence funded by the Economic and Social Research Council under its Researcher Development Initiative.

The SGPE PhD Training Sequence has two main aims: The first is to close the gap in both the quality and quantity of training received by SGPE PhD students compared to their North American counterparts. The second is to provide an opportunity for PhD students enrolled at other UK institutions to receive advanced training in economics. Its falls squarely into one of the RDI’s main strands: …the provision of specific training activities for research students.
