The MPhil program is an 18-month program. After the completion of MAS Economics, students may request for transfer to the MPhil program. Students for MPhil will be selected on the basis of the coursework (MAS Economics) and interview. After the completion of coursework, students will have to work on their MPhil thesis, which may take one to two semesters.
The course work is the same for MAS and MPhil. The MPhil thesis must be of publication-acceptable standard and thus contribute to economic literature.
