Why choose this course

Our MSc in Economics will help you build on your undergraduate studies to develop advanced capabilities in the discipline and benefit from a boost in skills that are relevant to the modern world.

The programme is designed to prepare you for a range of careers in which advanced economics analysis and independent thought can contribute to self-fulfilment. Also, graduates of the programme are well placed for further study in economics.

What you will study

Our Economics MSc comprehensively covers the core areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics in which you will develop a systematic understanding at the forefront of the discipline.
