The AERC’s PhD and Masters Bridge Programme, which was introduced in 2017, is an intensive 8-weeks programme for equipping participants with skills in Quantitative Techniques, Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, which are prerequisite courses for the Collaborative PhD Programme (CPP) in Economics, Collaborative Masters Programme (CMAP) in Economics, and Collaborative Masters in Agricultural and Applied Economics (CMAAE). The primary goal of the Bridge Programme is to address the limited competitiveness of potential PhD and Masters students from underrepresented countries and groups by virtue of gender, language barrier, and particularly fragile and post-conflict states, for admission and performance in the AERC’s collaborative training programmes.
In order to broaden reach and enhance inclusivity, the PhD and Masters Bridge Programme is delivered virtually through live or synchronous lectures via the Zoom platform and AERC’s Learning Management System (LMS), complemented by the AERC eLibrary and MyLoft where textbooks, reference journal articles and lecture materials/notes are easily accessible, and lecture recordings are made available for asynchronous access to lessons by students. Delivery of the Bridge Programme is by a team of internationally competitively sourced experts.
