Location of London Metropolitan University
Over the last two decades the world has seen an increased globalisation of economic relations with a consequent highlighting of issues in international economics. Trade and international flows of goods, finance and resources - including people - are now increasingly part of everyday life as well as business. As economies become increasingly open the need to understand the nature of such change becomes ever more important.
We aim to provide you with an advanced contemporary grounding in mainstream economic theory with a particular focus on international economics. You will be equipped with the analytical techniques and research methods essential to undertaking research into issues in the international sphere.
The course is taught by academics who are actively involved in internationally recognised research and consultancy work for major institutions and agencies. The UK Quality Assurance Agency gives our Economics courses the highest quality rating, which places us equal 4th for Universities in London and the South East. In Economics research we are ranked in the top 25% of UK Universities eligible to submit to the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise. The international student and staff body at London Metropolitan Business School facilitates a cultural diversity that adds to the international aspects of the course.
Career opportunities
The course will be of interest to graduates seeking careers in multinationals and import/export companies, or those seeking to work within the financial markets. Those already employed can update their knowledge and/or improve their careers. In addition, it can lead onto an MPhil or PhD. Our courses offer both a commitment to academic excellence and vital real-world relevance with the aim to maximise your career potential. Economics graduates have skills and knowledge that make them highly sought after by employers in business, finance and government. As a result Economics graduates, along with those from Medicine and Law are, on average, the highest paid graduates in the UK.
