The Center for Economic Research and Graduate Education – Economics Institute offers the program of doctoral studies in theoretical and applied economics, leading to a PhD degree which has an absolute charter issued in the USA, and is fully accredited in the Czech Republic. The PhD program consists of two years of coursework followed by two years of supervised dissertation research. The working language of the institution is English. CERGE-EI encourages its students to conduct part of their dissertation research at partner institutions in Western Europe and North America, as well as to participate in collaborative research projects in other countries. The application deadline is March 15! Most students are granted tuition waivers and stipends for up to four years of study - no separate application is necessary. Successful applicants will be invited to participate in a competitive two-month Preparatory semester in July and August, after which final admissions decisions will be made. Students can ask for travel expenses coverage. The request for such grant should be attached to the application form and should free-format clearly explain why such grant is needed. Additional admissions to the Ph.D. program are available for students who are awarded with the Czech Government Scholarship. Holders of this scholarship are also eligible for somewhat higher financial support. In 2009/2010 the Czech Government Scholarships are available for citizens of the following countries: Albania, Belarus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, Kosovo, Macedonia, Moldova, Mongolia, Montenegro, Panama, Serbia and Vietnam. Applicants from the above mentioned countries are strongly encouraged to apply. A separate application to the Czech embassy in your country is necessary. Attention! The deadline for the Czech Government Scholarship is around December 12! (The exact date varies by the country of residence; please inquire with the Czech embassy.) See the admissions & financial info for details.
CERGE-EI graduates enjoy outstanding job prospects. For example, our alumni have assumed positions in governmental ministries as policy advisors, as chief economists of international banks, as academics at universities and research institutions all over the world, and in multinational corporations.
The job experiences of some of CERGE-EI alumni are presented in the Alumni Booklet.
