MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics

About

Introduction

This internationally reputed MSc programme is designed for those with a strong quantitative background who wish to study economics and econometrics.

On this programme, you'll begin by exploring the essential principles of macroeconomics, microeconomics, and econometrics before moving on to advanced study in all three areas. You’ll also choose an elective course from topics as varied as international economics, monetary economics, corporate finance, asset markets, portfolio management, machine learning, data science and stochastic processes.

The technical level of material covered in this degree is arguably higher than any similar master's degree in this field so you'll need to demonstrate a strong quantitative background.

We welcome applications from mathematicians, statisticians, physical scientists and engineers, as well as graduate economists who are looking to proceed to PhD study or a career as a quantitative economist within industry, government, central banking, international organisations or private sector economic consultancies.
