    MSc Economic Policy for International Development

    About

    Overview

    Introduction

    The MSc Economic Policy for International Development is aimed at those interested in applied development economics and political economy as a rigorous postgraduate qualification.

    The programme provides a stepping-stone into the professional worlds of development economics (e.g. World Bank, LDC ministries of finance), fiscal and social policy making (LDC treasuries and health and education ministries, NGOs), and international business consulting.

    Having successfully completed this programme, students will be familiarised with frontier topics in development economics, be able to critically engage with advanced quantitative policy analysis, and possess an interdisciplinary understanding of the political economy of development policy design and implementation.
