MSc Applied Economics

The MSc Applied Economics focuses on developing your technical and analytical skills alongside your practical experience of how these skills are used to solve real-world economic problems and inform decision-making in various environments. This unique feature sets it apart from other degrees in economics. 

You'll gain knowledge and an understanding of the core principles of economic analysis and experience in applying them. 

You'll acquire skills in economics, data analysis and modelling techniques, as well as critical transferable skills in leadership, project management, problem-solving, communication and negotiating that are sought after by employers. 

The programme has been designed in consultation with our graduates' critical employers and the business, consulting and policy communities for the aspiring professional economist. This means that what you learn in the course is exactly what employers look for when recruiting new economists.
