Course content

The MSc Economics is a broad-based research-training course designed to provide you with an opportunity to develop theoretical and quantitative skills. You will study compulsory modules in economic theory and econometrics as well as options from a wide range of modules including those in international finance, environmental economics, mathematics and micro- and macro-economics, according to your individual career plan.

This Master's is ideal for those who aim to gain employment as professional economists in government, financial institutions, business, commerce, industry, international agencies and other similar organisations. It is also suitable for those seeking eventual PhD enrolment and/or an academic career as a lecturer in Economics. Many of our former PhD students now hold academic posts as lecturers in University departments both in the UK and overseas.
