We aren’t currently accepting any new applications to our PhD programmes in London. This applies to prospective applications for 2019 and 2020 entry.

Our research is organised into 15 research centres and groups. Each of these involves externally funded research, international collaboration and the active involvement of doctoral students. A brief outline of some of the disciplines is outlined below.

The Applied Econometrics (AE) group is an interdisciplinary School research group with members from both the Economics and the Accounting & Finance subject groups. Members of the AE group undertake research on topics in economics and finance, linked by their use of econometrics. Main areas of interest include:

• Bayesian econometrics
• linear and nonlinear time series models
• time series forecasting
• structural break estimation
• unit root testing and cointegration analysis
