The Econometrics degree offers a thorough training in advanced economics and econometrics. Building on a sound general training in econometric methods, the project-oriented core modules in empirical macroeconomics, applied microeconometrics and financial econometrics introduce you to the theory and practice of econometric modelling. The programme is one of the few courses in the UK to offer specialist training in advanced econometric methods and their application. Economists with quantitative skills and experience in empirical research are in high demand in both the private and public sector.
