RESEARCH QUALITY (The Complete University Guide 2020)
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. 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.
Optional specialist modules include: • Development Economics • Labour Economics • Monetary Economics ECONOMICS AND FINANCE MSc FT This joint scheme provides students with a comprehensive grounding in many of the key concepts, modelling approaches and research techniques deployed in key areas of economics (such as microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics), which also have important applications within finance.
