Welcome to the Department of Economics at the University of Birmingham. Economics teaching and research have a long tradition at Birmingham, dating back to the establishment of the Faculty of Commerce in 1903.
The modern department has about twenty five academic staff members, with a wide range of research interests in areas such as applied economics, economic theory, econometrics, environmental economics, finance and trade.
The department offers a variety of undergraduate programmes, and has an active graduate school involving research students and postgraduates on taught courses.
The MSc in Money, Banking and Finance is our most popular programme. There is a worldwide demand for those trained in the area, which shows no sign of abating.
Graduates from the programme hold high-ranking positions in financial centres around the globe. In addition to those aiming at careers in the private sector, it attracts economists currently working in economics, treasury or finance ministries, or in central banks, and graduates preparing for such careers.
