M.LITT.(Research) Economics

The MLitt programme extends over a minimum of two years. In the first year (commencing September) students must register full-time and follow the programme of the MSc in Economics. Once the MSc programme is successfully completed at honours level, the student develops a course of study which combines taught courses, reading courses and research under the guidance of his/her supervisory committee. At the end of the second year the student must present his/her thesis. Should the quality of the thesis meet the PhD standard, a grade of at least 60% in the programme, the student will be invited to continue in the PhD programme.

Entry to the programme normally requires students to have obtained at least a 2.I in Economics in their primary degree. However, the Department will also consider applications from students that have obtained at least a 2.I in a postgraduate Higher Diploma programme specializing in Economics.
Applicants must have a recognised primary degree which is considered equivalent to Irish university primary degree level.
IELTS 6.5 with no less than 6.0 in each band
TOEFL iBT: iBT: 90 with no less than 21 in writing and at least 19 in every other section
