Economics

In this Masters in Economics course, we help you develop new and existing skills, significantly enhance your knowledge of economics and prepare you for work as a professional economist. By the time you graduate, your sharpened critical and analytical abilities will function alongside a full understanding of modern economic theory. You will be confident in the application of econometric theory and techniques, and in your ability to critically analyse modern research. The dissertation track is also a good pathway to an Economics PhD if you want to pursue further study. This Masters in Economics course is ideal if you want to thoroughly immerse yourself in modern economics training, either straight after an undergraduate degree or as a mid-career professional. You will learn through a series of lectures that are made available online, as well as through seminars and interactive group work. Lectures introduce key theories, concepts and knowledge which is discussed in seminar groups. You will learn from research-active academic staff, graduate teaching assistants and visiting lecturers. You are assessed through unseen written examinations and coursework. Teaching takes place over two terms from September to June. If you study full-time and pass all taught modules during the main exam sessions, you will complete the programme at the end of September after submitting a dissertation or literature review.
