EADS trains students to undertake cutting-edge research in a wide range of economic and social disciplines.
The PhD program in Economics, Analytics and Decision Sciences (EADS) offers advanced, multidisciplinary training with an innovative approach to the study of economic and social phenomena. By integrating economics, data science, statistics, computer science, and psychology, the program provides students with the analytical tools needed to conduct cutting-edge research in complex decision-making processes.
Program Structure
The program adopts a multidisciplinary framework that combines:
- Economics and Social Sciences
- Quantitative Methods, including statistics, data science, and computational tools, enriched by insights from psychology.
This unique approach allows PhD candidates to explore a broad range of topics—such as behavioral economics, public policy, and market dynamics—while developing robust methodological expertise. The program prepares students for careers in academia, research institutions, international organizations, and data-driven private sectors.
An International Research Environment
The EADS program is embedded in an international academic environment, offering students the opportunity to pursue part of their studies abroad. Mobility is encouraged both through the Erasmus+ framework and ad hoc mobility agreements. Moreover, students can carry out their research under joint supervision (double-degree programs) with prestigious partner universities, including KU Leuven and the University of Alicante.
