Dip + MSc – Economics

As an MSc student, you will benefit from a dedicated pre-sessional course in Maths and Statistics to ensure you are fully up to speed at the start of the programme. Our full induction programme typically includes a quiz, welcome reception, and introductory meetings with course directors.

During your study we offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities to enrich your student experience, including our guest lecture series, student conferences and social events. For our guest lectures we invite prominent speakers to discuss topical issues from a range of themes suggested by students themselves, including sustainability and climate emergency, artificial intelligence, innovation and the economics of war.

We think it’s important to provide you with opportunities to relax and get to know both your peers and tutors outside of the classroom. Recent socials have included sports events, a Christmas dinner and a summer celebration.

Throughout the year we provide academic and pastoral support through a variety of schemes, events and networks. We also aim to strengthen different aspects of your academic studies, for example, support with module content and preparation for assessments.

A specialist support network will be available to you, including our Postgraduate Office Team, your Personal Tutor, our Senior Tutor, Advisor to Overseas Students, Advisor to Female Students, Director of Student Engagement and Progression and Director of Graduate Studies.

We provide dedicated support for developing skills that your future employers will value: transferable skills in analysis, problem-solving, computing and handling statistics. You will also be supported in reflecting on these skills and experiences and articulating them to future employers.
