    PhD Programmes in Economic Studies

    Economics is an area of study that explores topics of wealth, banking, finance, buyer and distributor trends, recessions and more. This subject deals with the production and consumption of goods and services as they relate to individuals, businesses and nations.

    An extreme lack of resources coupled with a poor economic situation has made The Gambia a poor choice for those seeking a degree in higher education. Though the number of educated Gambians is on the rise, it is still far lower than the international average.

    The PhD is a doctoral degree, specifically called a "doctor of philosophy" degree. This is misleading because PhD holders are not necessarily philosophers (unless they earned their degree in philosophy!). That said, PhD recipients are able to engage in thought experiments, reason about problems, and solve problems in sophisticated ways.
