MSc Business Economics

This programme is designed to meet the high demand for economics postgraduates who have the ability to apply economic analysis and quantitative skills to business and policy problems.

The aim of the programme is to build upon economics skills learnt at the undergraduate level and, in particular, to emphasise how these skills can be applied to solve real-world business problems. Economics graduates will have the opportunity to extend their previous economics training by focusing more on business and policy issues, and the programme is designed to develop areas of specialised and marketable skills. While emphasising the importance of economic theory, the programme is very applied in nature. Extensive use is made of case studies and policy problems.
