Ph.D. Applications Preparation

Anastasia (Natassa) Zervou

Since August 2023 I have been serving as the Graduate Program Director of the Economics Department at the Alvarez School of Business. Before that, and since January 2017, I was the MA academic placement director for the Masters of Arts (MA) program in Economics at the University of Texas at Austin. Through those capacities I have been working with MA students individually, identifying the main barrier(s) to Ph.D. admission in their current profile and suggesting practical and achievable improvements that enhance their skills and application prospects. Please see my CV here, for student placement records. 

I am available for consulting on the setup and management of the academic placement of undergraduate, Master's,  Predoc, and central bank placement programs.
