Course summary
Why choose this course
Economics helps us decipher and shape our complex world. It offers unparalleled insights into how decisions by individuals, businesses, and the government affect important aspects of everyone鈥檚 life, including employment opportunities, the prices of products and services, and the overall standards of living.
Our MA in Economics will give you the opportunity to explore this fascinating discipline and you will benefit from a boost in skills that are relevant to the modern world: your employability, digital capabilities, global and cultural intelligence, resourcefulness and resilience, and sustainability awareness.
The programme is designed to allow you to develop these skills so that you can pursue a career in the exciting and rewarding field of economics. We have built our MA in Economics as a conversion course, open to all applicants, regardless of your previous degree subject. Less technical than our MSc or MRes programmes, it鈥檚 a great way to enter into this exciting and rewarding field.
What you will study
Typically, as a student on our Economics MA, you don鈥檛 need to have an economics background at an undergraduate level.
You will progressively develop your ability to understand advanced theories and sharpen your analytical skills by building foundations in two core areas of economics: microeconomics and macroeconomics. Studying quantitative methods alongside these modules will allow you to handle their more technical aspects. In the first semester, you will also apply yourself to investments and finance to enhance your skills in areas that are relevant to financial markets.
The second semester furnishes your applied skills (in econometrics and in public policy), further reinforcing your employability and digital capabilities. You will also be able to shape your studies to match your preferences, strengths, and/or career aspirations by selecting two modules from a range of exciting options.
At the same time as your taught modules, you will undertake a year-long applied project allowing you to put your economics knowledge, analytical skills, and data-handling ability to practice.
