MSc Economics and Econometrics

This course aims to provide an advanced qualification not only in economics but also in econometrics. Students on this course follow more in-depth modules in econometrics than those taking MSc Economics. Compulsory modules in microeconomics and macroeconomics, plus theoretical and applied aspects of econometrics are supplemented by optional modules which students can choose to reflect their own interests.

The MSc in Economics and Econometrics has ESRC recognition, which means it can be taken with the PhD in Economics to make up a 1+3 pathway for those students intending to apply for ESRC funding.
