Optional Modules

- Behavioural Economics
- Labour Economics
- Public Policy in Developing Countries

Students need to have previously completed undergraduate courses in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics/economic statistics at an intermediate level. The MSc Economics is a quantitative degree and students will need to be competent in several areas of mathematics. All student attend a short pre-sessional mathematics and statistics course before the term starts. As a guide, we expect students opting for B versions of Macroeconomics or Microeconomics to have obtained the equivalent of a First class mark (70%) in their undergraduate studies, though we will consider a request to take a B variant even if that prerequisite is not met.
Typical careers paths
Professional economist positions in government or the private sector. Graduates may also go on to careers in banking, finance, business and public policy as consultants or analysts, or academic research.
Entry requirements
First or upper-second class honours degree or equivalent in economics or a closely-related subject.
