Course summary
This programme is designed to equip you with the fundamental tools needed to assess a range of theoretical, empirical or policy-related economic issues. Your studies will take you from micro-principles of economic behaviour to macro-outcomes of national and global importance in a systematic way. You can study topics such as economics of development, economics of financial markets, and the economics of public policy. An MSc Economics degree functions as an ideal stepping stone to postgraduate research study in economics.
