Course Overview

Gain the skills and knowledge you need to pursue a successful career in international economics or international relations. In this flexible Master’s course, you'll explore international economics and international relations from an interdisciplinary perspective, increasing your understanding of international institutions and foreign policy while developing the analytical skills of an economist. MSc Economics and International Relations is part of our Applied Training Programme, which is designed to provide key skills in economics. The compulsory component of the degree consists of taught modules covering microeconomics, macroeconomics, econometrics, international relations theory and international trade. You'll then have the opportunity to tailor your course to your interests and career goals by selecting optional modules from the range offered by the School of Economics.

We offer specialised structural support to help you negotiate your Master’s course. This includes compulsory, intensive pre-sessional training before the start of teaching on your course modules. This training incorporates the techniques of calculus and statistical methods in the economic context, and also introduces you to the specialist econometric software STATA that you'll use throughout your MSc Programme. Over the course of the year, we’ll also give you training in the use of various online data sources that are likely to be useful in your dissertation research.

In addition to receiving first-class academic training, you’ll be able to enjoy the wealth of opportunities that UEA offers to cultivate non-academic and sporting interests. You'll also enjoy the beautiful and historic city of Norwich, where the campus is located.

The School of Economics will be proactive in providing support to you in shaping and supporting your career aspirations. Alumni and employers regularly visit the School of Economics and provide employability talks, training sessions as well as individual meetings with students, providing you with the chance to enhance your skills and to improve your employment prospects further. After this MSc, you may want to continue your career in an academic environment by doing a PhD, or pursue careers in banking, finance, insurance, international business and political organisations.
