Beschreibung des Programms

Who is it for?

This course enables you to immerse yourself in rigorous modern economics training – either immediately after an undergraduate degree or as a mid-career professional. You can choose to study full time over the course of one year or part-time over the course of two.

Objectives

This course will give you a solid foundation in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics while exploring modules on finance, regulation, health economics, behavioural economics and development economics.

The Economics MSc helps you:

  • Develop your critical and analytical abilities in economics
  • Understand modern economic theory, at both a micro and a macro level
  • Analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the relevant empirical and theoretical research methodology
  • Develop your knowledge of econometric theory and techniques
  • Critically interpret current research in fields such as behavioural and experimental economics, financial economics, health economics, macroeconomics, regulation and competition, and development
  • Prepare academically for a career as a professional economist.

Should you wish to pursue further study, the dissertation track can also serve as a stepping stone to an Economics PhD.

Entry requirements

To apply for this course, you should have some mathematical background (A-level, IB, AP or any other equivalent secondary school qualification) and one of the following:

  • An upper-second-class (or equivalent) undergraduate degree in economics or a related discipline (e.g. finance).

  • An upper-second class (or equivalent) undergraduate degree in a quantitative discipline, such as Mathematics, Engineering, Computer Science or a Natural Science.

Students with a good lower second-class undergraduate degree in one of the above disciplines might be considered on a case-by-case basis.

All students must also meet the English language requirement for the programme as specified.
