Our MA Economics is designed to meet the growing demand for students who seek a course which combines solid training in microeconomic and macroeconomic principles, with quantitative methods and research-informed applied economics units. You will benefit from core training in these areas but will also be free to develop your expertise in specialist areas of your choosing through our broad range of optional course units, such as: - Development economics; - Healthcare economics; - Economics of environmental policy; - Global economic history. Our MA Economics stands apart from our MSc Economics programme through its emphasis on rigorous, applied, career-focused units designed with the job market in mind. The MA Economics emphasises relatively more on practice-oriented units, equipping you with the skills employers value. It is ideally suited for those seeking to work as economists or in related roles after graduation. If your ambition is to pursue postgraduate research, our MSc Economics course may be a better fit.
