The MA forms part of the 1+3 (master's plus PhD) scheme under the Northern Ireland and North East Doctoral Training Partnership (NINE DTP). It is only open to applicants submitting for funding under the ESRC NINE DTP.

Throughout the course you'll develop:

You'll take research training modules made up of fundamental research skills. These are part of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Research Training Programme.

You take further modules, both compulsory and optional. These provide subject-specific knowledge, geared to either economics or finance. The course leads up to your dissertation, which is worth 60 credits.
