Our MSc Economics programmes are intended to deepen your knowledge and understanding of economics as an academic discipline. Each programme draws upon the internationally-rated research undertaken within the department and the experience of our academics in developing economic policy at organisations such as such as the Bank of England, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and the United Nations.
A central objective of all of the programmes is to provide you with insight into the latest thinking in economics. You will attend a series of research seminars, during which you can discuss and present current research papers. You can also participate in the departmental seminars, which attract external academics and provide you with the opportunity to gain insight into current research in economics and econometrics.
Our postgraduate economics programmes are accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). For UK and EU students, this means you can apply to the ESRC for funding assistance with both tuition fees and living expenses if you are intending to progress to a PhD
This programme differs from the general MSc Economics in that it contains an additional core module in Experimental Economics and Finance. You may also choose to study Quantitative Methods for Finance instead of Quantitative and Research Techniques I. Furthermore, the compulsory dissertation is specifically related to the specialism, consisting an Experimental Economics Project and Dissertation. The programme draws upon our expertise in the development, running and evaluation of experiments applied to economic and financial issues.
