As part of its commitment to encouraging entry to the profession the Society provides a number of studentships for first-degree graduates from Scottish universities (home, EU or overseas) entering the Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics (SGPE) but who have not qualified for Research Council (or equivalent) funding. This Programme involves a year of taught postgraduate courses in economics leading to the degree of MSc, followed by progression, where appropriate, to a PhD in a Department of Economics at one of the eight collaborating Scottish Universities (Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Heriot Watt, St Andrews, Stirling, Strathclyde). The studentships are currently valued at £4100.
Students admitted to the Programme become members of the Society and thus qualify for all the benefits of membership.
The Programme is currently administered by the University of Edinburgh. The contact is Andy Snell (snella@staffmail.ed.ac.uk).
