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 (Policy Evaluation and Data Analysis) will help you build on your undergraduate studies to develop advanced capabilities in the discipline with an emphasis on learning how to conduct evidence-based policy analysis. Our specific focus on policy evaluation means you will be trained in methods to measure causal effects in microeconomics including programme evaluation methods and decomposition techniques, models for survival analysis and panel data models.
The programme is designed to prepare you for a range of careers in which advanced economics analysis and independent thought are required, such as in government and business, think tanks and consulting. Graduates of the programme are also well placed for further study in economics.
