Program Overview

Program Description:

The MSc Economics is intended to equip you with the main tools of the professional economist, whether you intend working in government, international organisations or business.

Compulsory courses: Macroeconomics; Microeconomics; Methods of Economic Investigation. 1 option from a range of subjects, including: History of Economics; Public Economics; Labour Economics; International Economics; Development and Growth and Capital Markets.
