Why did you choose Warwick?

I chose to pursue my MSc in Economics at Warwick due to the Department's strong international reputation and alignment with my academic and professional goals. Although relatively young - founded in 1965 - the Department has risen rapidly to compete with well-established universities in the UK and globally. Its ascent to being ranked among the top 25 economics departments in the world is a testament to the quality of teaching and research produced here. This rapid rise reflects Warwick’s commitment to fostering excellence and equipping students with the tools to succeed in highly competitive environments.

What appealed most about Warwick's MSc courses?

What particularly appealed to me about Warwick’s MSc Economics programme were the exceptional professors and teaching staff, whose expertise and dedication to research create an enriching learning environment. Modules such as Advanced Macroeconomic Theory (Macroeconomics B) and Monetary Economics stand out as highlights, combining theoretical depth with practical applications.

What skills have you developed?

During my time at Warwick, I have developed key skills that will be invaluable in my career as an economist. Training in coding and econometric techniques has significantly enhanced my analytical capabilities, enabling me to handle complex data and derive actionable insights. The hands-on approach of the programme has provided me with a robust skill set that is highly relevant in today's data-driven world.

What are your career aspirations?

Upon graduation, I aspire to return to the Central Bank of Egypt, where I will continue working in monetary policy. Leveraging the skills I have developed at Warwick; I aim to further contribute to shaping policies that promote price stability and sustainable economic growth in Egypt.
