This MSc is an intensive one-year programme for students wishing to pursue careers as economists in the public sector or as academic researchers in the field of public sector economics.
The programme builds on substantial research strengths within the School of Economics, Finance and Management. The School houses the Centre for Market and Public Organisation (CMPO), a research centre focussing on the economics of the public sector. Members of the CMPO are regularly employed as advisers to the Government. Recently the CMPO attracted multimillion pound funding from the Economic and Social Research Council and is currently undergoing a period of substantial expansion.
As a student on the Economics and Public Policy programme, you will be an active participant in the research activity of the CMPO. You will attend the regular research seminars of the CMPO and undertake dissertations in areas under the supervision of senior CMPO staff.
