Our programme offers small class sizes, ensuring personalised attention and fostering a vibrant, interactive environment where every student's voice is heard. The richness of our diverse student body enhances the fabric of discussions, bringing together varied perspectives and creating a dynamic intellectual community. The teaching faculty mirrors this diversity, with experts from various backgrounds dedicated to nurturing your academic growth. Recent graduates have been hired by companies in the UK such as BNP Paribas, AXA, FactSet and PwC.
Our MSc programme aims to provide a solid foundation in economic analysis while allowing students to specialise in their areas of interest. You gain advanced quantitative skills, a deep understanding of economic principles, and the ability to apply economic analysis to real-world problems. The course equips you with a versatile skill set, preparing you not only for independent research but also for a variety of roles in academia, research institutions, government, international organisations, and the private sector.
The School of Economics is dedicated to excellence in both teaching and research, as demonstrated by our results in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021 and recent national student surveys. Our academic staff are active in research, and teaching and learning are informed by the School's thriving research culture and strong cosmopolitan academic community.
We currently have 35 academic staff, with about 35-40 MSc and PhD students, which has the benefit of a good community for interaction between students but also means that each student receives a good deal of individual attention in classes and workshops. It also means that we are able to offer excellent facilities for research.
Our postgraduate student community is global with many of the students originating from outside the UK and Europe. There are also a number of different nationalities represented within the academic staff. You will be able to integrate into this multicultural environment and build yourself an international professional network for the future.
