Project
The individualized doctoral program allows the doctoral student to devote four years to full-time research. The program ultimately leads to a doctoral degree and prepares the student for an academic career at a top university or a career as a researcher in a policy institution.

Our renowned doctoral program in economics is usually preceded by a year of study in the Master of Advanced Studies in Economics (MASE) or an equivalent research master's program.
However, if you have yet to complete a research master's degree, you are equally invited to apply. In fact, we are offering some MASE scholarships to the most promising candidates while they complete the Master of Advanced Studies in Economics at KU Leuven. Learn more about the MASE program at: http://feb.kuleuven.be/mase.
