Join one of the largest and most renowned centres of ecological economics research on a course that challenges conventional thinking and introduces a real-world approach to teaching economics.
Our Ecological Economics Masters degree is based in the School of Earth and Environment with some of the modules being taught by the Leeds University Business School.
It reflects a new approach to teaching economics that focuses on real-world problems and integrates a wide range of different perspectives.
Many of the most serious environmental and social problems that we face can be traced to root causes in our economic system.
On this course, you’ll develop an understanding of how economic activity gives rise to environmental and social problems, and be introduced to the main tools to tackle them.
A bachelor degree with a 2:1 (hons) in social sciences, natural sciences, environmental studies, economics, management, engineering or a related subject.
Applicants with a 2:2 will be considered on a case by case basis where applicants can demonstrate relevant work experience or aptitude in a relevant specialist field. Graduates from other disciplines and those with professional experience in the sector will also be considered.

There is an increasing demand for professionals with an interdisciplinary understanding of economics as it applies to real-world environmental and social problems.
