Masters Degrees in Economics still available for January start in 2023

Masters degrees in Economics explore the diverse forces that underpin financial markets and monetary policy, together with the advanced theories and practices that help understand and manage them.

Qualifications in this subject-area can be taught or research-focussed, with some specialised MBA programmes also available. An undergraduate degree in mathematics, economics or a related discipline will usually be required.

Why study a Masters in Economics?

Masters degrees in Economics provide the skills and experience required for a number of highly sought after occupations.

Roles are available in commercial and investment banking, stock brokerage or corporate finance and risk analysis. Other positions are offered by governments and other organisations developing national economic policies, monetary systems and international trade agreements.

A more academically-focussed pathway might lead to work as an economic theorist based within a university, a political think-tank or even a global organisation such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
