Economics

This course is an excellent ‘springboard’ for a PhD in economics but you can also study it as a stand-alone master’s degree to get ready for research-focused roles in commercial, policy and professional organisations.

You’ll gain a deep understanding of key theories in micro- and macroeconomics, and essential skills to design and undertake empirical research in these areas.

You’ll be taught by leading academics who regularly publish in top-tier international journals and have substantial experience in writing and undertaking research grants.

MRes courses place more emphasis on research skills, so if your goal is not to move on to a PhD or research-focused roles, we recommend you consider a specialist master’s degree instead.

Who is this course for?

This course is an excellent choice if you hold a master’s degree in economics, or related discipline, and would like to move onto a PhD or pursue a future career in academia.

It’s also an ideal option if you’re working – or intend to work – in commercial, policy and professional organisations where research represents a significant part of your activity.
