This new course is being introduced at the School of Management from September 2017. Our MSc Economics programme aims to provide students with a thorough grounding in the core aspects of advanced micro and macroeconomics, as well as econometrics, whilst allowing students to undertake specialized modules in some of the subject’s sub-disciplines.

Graduates may pursue a number of professional economist career pathway opportunities in the finance or management consulting industries. The sophisticated and multi-faceted transferable skills acquired by the programme will also open doors or provide stepping-stones to a wide variety of other less specialist career paths in commerce, industry and academia.

• All modules are taught by our world-class faculty who have a breadth of industrial and academic knowledge.
• Swansea is joint 1st in Wales for international ranked research (REF 2014).
• 93% of Swansea students in employment or further study within six months of graduating.
• High contact time – each module includes a 2 hour lecture (class sizes approximately 150 students) followed by a 1 hour seminar/tutorial (class sizes capped at 30) every single week.
• Scholarships available for outstanding students
