Course summary
This two-year programme is designed for students who have a sound quantitative background but lack the knowledge in economic theory or quantitative techniques for the one-year MSc Economics.
To apply, you should have a strong academic qualification with an emphasis on quantitative subjects like mathematics and statistics.

For example, you could pursue a career in government, international institutions, business and finance. Or you might proceed to PhD study, at LSE or another leading institution.
