About this program

The Doctor of Philosophy (IITB - Monash Dual Award) programme at Monash University offers an advanced research opportunity in the field of Economics. This unique dual award allows students to engage with both Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) and Monash University, creating a rich cross-cultural academic experience. Over a duration of four years, students will conduct original research that contributes to the field, culminating in a thesis that demonstrates academic proficiency and innovative thinking.

This PhD is structured around in-depth research complemented by coursework that hones essential analytical and methodological skills. Students will work closely with experienced supervisors and have access to a wealth of resources and networks provided by both institutions. Additionally, candidates may participate in professional development workshops and seminars, enhancing their research capabilities and academic profile.

Throughout the programme, students will acquire vital skills in critical thinking, data analysis, and problem-solving - essential attributes for today's economics professionals. This course is suitable for individuals aiming to pursue a career in academia, government, or industry, particularly those who are interested in international economic development and collaboration.
