Masters Degree Description

Focused on nurturing a new generation of economics professionals, our Economics (MSc) programme will give you the tools and techniques to succeed – either in your economics career or in the next phase of your studies.

You’ll consider the social, economic and ethical implications of your decisions as you encounter the economics of labour, development, policy and trade. You’ll use world leading research and real-world consultancy examples to understand the practical problems you’ll face in the workplace.

Alongside more traditional economics skills - theoretical modelling, the application of economics principles, policy analysis – you’ll develop your computer programming and numerical analytical skills, which are essential for empirical research. You’ll also refine the conceptual understanding and technical skills needed to conduct applied economic research.

Entry Requirements

To be considered for an offer for this programme you will need to meet all of the entry requirements. Your application will not be progressed if the information and evidence listed is not provided.
