The two year route for the MSc Economics is designed for students who have a sound quantitative background but lack the necessary knowledge in economic theory and quantitative techniques for the one year programme. You should have a strong academic qualification with an emphasis on quantitative subjects such as mathematics and statistics.
The preliminary year will provide you with a solid foundation in economic theory and quantitative techniques and develop your skills to the point where you become eligible to join the main MSc Economics programme.
First class honours degree or equivalent with two semesters of university-level mathematics.
Competition for places at the School is high. This means that even if you meet our minimum entry requirements, this does not guarantee you an offer of admission.
