    MA Full-time: 1 year Part-time: 2 years

Course Description

Economics helps us decipher and shape our complex world. It offers unparalleled insights into how decisions by individuals, businesses, and the government affect important aspects of everyone’s life, including employment opportunities, the prices of products and services, and the overall standards of living.

Our MA in Economics will give you the opportunity to explore this fascinating discipline and you will benefit from a boost in skills that are relevant to the modern world: your employability, digital capabilities, global and cultural intelligence, resourcefulness and resilience, and sustainability awareness.

The programme is designed to allow you to develop these skills so that you can pursue a career in the exciting and rewarding field of economics. We have built our MA in Economics as a conversion course, open to all applicants, regardless of your previous degree subject. Less technical than our MSc or MRes programmes, it’s a great way to enter into this exciting and rewarding field.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree, or a recognised equivalent international qualification.

We may be able to take relevant work experience into consideration if you don’t meet these requirements. If you have at least one year of relevant experience in a full-time graduate-level role (or a minimum of two years’ experience in a relevant graduate-level part-time role) please provide full details of your role and responsibilities in your personal statement and CV when you submit your application.
