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 MSc in Economics (Econometrics and Big Data) will help you build on your undergraduate studies to develop advanced capabilities in the discipline with an emphasis on quantitative techniques and their applications using big data. As policy-makers (such as central banks), businesses and finance companies increasingly use large and complex datasets to further their aims and discover trends and extract value, the need has arisen for professionals with the right theoretical and practical knowledge who can handle the data using the right machine learning and econometric estimation techniques.
The programme is designed to prepare you for a range of careers in which advanced quantitative skills and ability to work with big data using econometrics are required. Graduates of the programme are also well placed for further study in economics or econometrics.
A minimum of a 2:1 UK honours degree in chemistry, computer science, economics, engineering, maths, physics, statistics.
Alternatively, another degree subject including 60 per cent (UK or equivalent) in macroeconomics and microeconomics and 60 per cent (UK or equivalent) in one module from algebra, calculus, maths, probability, quantitative methods or statistics.
Applicants not meeting the above entry requirements who hold a 2.2 in a relevant subject may still be considered if they hold a minimum of 12 months graduate work experience in a position relevant to the programme to which they have applied.
