MSc Mathematical Economics and Econometrics

These entry requirements are for the 2026-27 academic year and requirements for future academic years may differ. Entry requirements for the 2027-28 academic year will be published on 1 Oct 2026.

A strong UK 2:1 honours degree with an overall mark of at least 65%, or its international equivalent, in economics or a quantitative subject such as mathematics, physics, engineering, actuarial science, computer science. Your degree must have included a course with content on probability. Relevant experience, or professional or other qualifications will also be considered.

Some applicants may receive an offer that is conditional on successful completion of our Pre-sessional Summer Programme.

You can apply without having a graduate admissions exam result (GRE or GMAT). Your application, however, may be substantially stronger if you do include such a result. We may also stipulate that you must attain a specified grade in one of these tests as a condition of entry if you do not meet the minimum academic entry requirement.

If we require you to take either test, we would expect a score of a quantitative reasoning result in the 85th percentile or higher to qualify for a place. We do not formally consider results from the Verbal and Analytical sections in our assessment of your application.
