Studying at ISEG has definitely been one of the most fruitful experiences of my life, both academically and personally.

I chose to study for a PhD in Economics in the hope that I would expand my theoretical knowledge and also to acquire the skills to apply this theoretical knowledge in both a practical and conceptual framework. I have also had the opportunity to present my work at a number of conferences in Portugal as well as in China. I undoubtably recommend ISEG.

PhD in Economics

The PhD is a multidisciplinary and heterodox program that has enabled me to acquire distinctive aptitudes to understand socio-economic development phenomena.

This program is unique and simply cannot be found in most advanced economics courses. Overall, my experience has been very positive, with the PhD not only contributing to my growth as a professional, but also to my development as a citizen.
