The MSc Development Economics is the flagship Master's programme offered by the SOAS Economics Department. It integrates two fundamental intellectual traditions that our unique Department has cultivated for decades: a rigorous pluralist theoretical approach to economics and a focus on real-world development issues using modern economic analytical tools. If you are interested in understanding the complexities of the global economy, the economic challenges and opportunities confronting countries in the Global South and addressing issues such as poverty, inequalities, climate change and environmental breakdown, and other significant development challenges, the MSc Development Economics is the ideal choice for you. Participants will delve into various schools of thought concerning economic growth and development, inflation, unemployment, inequality, money creation, climate change, and macroeconomic policy. The curriculum encompasses different perspectives on topics like market failures, the role of institutions and agents in the economy and government interventions. Students will explore theories and policies through institutional, historical, and pluralist lenses.
We will consider all applications with a 2:2 (or international equivalent) in Economics and other Social Sciences (such as Politics, Sociology, Finance, Business, International Relations, Law), as well as Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, or Engineering. Applicants with professional qualifications or relevant professional experience will also be considered. Applicants will need to demonstrate they have studied Economic theory (including Macroeconomics and Microeconomics) and ONE of the following: Mathematics, Applied Mathematics, Quantitative Methods (Statistics or Econometrics).In addition to degree classification, we take into account other elements of the application such as supporting statement. References are optional but can help build a stronger application if you fall below the 2:2 requirement or have non-traditional qualifications.
