The MSc Economics is a well-established specialist programme that aims to provide rigorous training in theoretical and applied economics to students with a strong technical background. This intensive programme includes comprehensive two-semester sequences in macroeconomics, microeconomics, and econometrics that cover the essential models and tools used by research economists. Students also receive training in the relevant mathematical and statistical methods, and have the opportunity to choose from optional modules such as labour economics, financial econometrics, empirical macroeconomics, and asset pricing.
Graduates of the programme will possess a solid grounding in modern economics that will enable them to conduct, assess, and supervise both theoretical and applied research in the field. The MSc Economics is ideal for those planning a career as a research economist in academia, the public sector, international institutions, the financial industry, economic or management consulting, think tanks, or other research centres. The programme is recognised as a Research Training Degree by the ESRC under its "1+3" scheme. Students who perform well on the MSc Economics are encouraged to apply for doctoral study in the School of Economics and Finance
