This is an accelerated, fast-track 9 month programme, which provides a rigorous training in core skills in analytical Economics and Econometrics as well allowing some specialisation in chosen areas of the subject. It is intended for graduates whose first degree did not focus on Economics. It may be taken as an independent qualification or as a preliminary year of study before a specialist MSc programme. Progression to the MSc stage is linked to performance.
