Students can enrol in these programmes after finishing a Master degree in the relevant fields. Admissions are organised through the chairs and departments of the Faculty. 

Moreover, in the field of economics we offer a more intensive integrated PhD programme, which is also open for students in Management interested in research at the boundary between Economics & Management:

Admission for this programme can occur directly after a bachelor degree or after a master. Students with a bachelor degree are first enrolled in a two years Master of Economic Research and after successful completion work on their thesis. Students who already have a master degree can enrol in the programme and finish one year of coursework and then work on their thesis. The PhD programme in Economics is organised in cooperation with the Cluster of Excellence ECONtribute: Markets and Public Policy and the Center for Social and Economic Behavior at the UoC (C-SEB).

Scholarships are available for the three doctoral study programmes within the specific Key Research Initiatives of the faculty, for the EWI fellowship programme in cooperation with the Institute of Energy Economics and for the PhD programme in Economics.
