Our MSc courses in economics are designed to prepare you for a career in government or business, as an economist, or for an economics PhD or research-oriented career. In business, economics helps provide an understanding of the motives and actions of customers, suppliers, competitors, employers and financiers. So, it is crucial in informing the strategic and operational decision-making of managers and directors. You will be taught by industry leaders and internationally recognised research experts, who regularly advise organisations and government agencies with policy development and economic research, as well as publish in leading research journals. You will benefit from co-location with industry at the innovative Bay Campus, working alongside companies such as Fujitsu in a stunning beachside location.

During their studies at Swansea, our students sharpen their analytical powers and enhance their decision-making skills. They practise, apply and refine their investigative and critical evaluation abilities to develop the types of skills useful in the formulation of appropriate and real world policy advice for governments, society and businesses. The sophisticated and multi-faceted transferable skills they acquire can open doors or provide stepping-stones to a wide variety of other career paths in commerce, industry and academia.
