Summary
The MSc in Economics will equip you with the skills and knowledge to understand the complex, rapidly shifting and uncertain modern global economy.
Through core modules, you will learn advanced macroeconomics, covering monetary theory, growth theory and business cycle theory and advanced microeconomics that consider consumer and producer theory. The module in econometrics will equip you with the research skills you will need on the course and beyond.
The MSc offers the flexibility to choose optional modules in subjects such as industry, money and banking and natural resources and to develop your research skills through the MSc dissertation, which includes the option to conduct research abroad at a partner university.
You will be taught by world-class academics from Durham University Business School, which is one of an elite group of institutions to be accredited by three major business education accreditation bodies, namely: the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA) and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS). As an economics student you will be part of an academic department with an international reputation for research and teaching excellence.
We have made a major investment in acquiring state-of-the-art database resources, including Thomson Reuters, Bloomberg, Datastream and Orbis, that will give you access to live and historical facts and figures relating to the financial records of millions of companies worldwide, adding valuable insight to your research.
International Opportunities: Dissertation Abroad, Summer School. Practitioner insights - Guest Speaker Programme; Pre-sessional Introduction to Economics. The course is entirely optional, but we strongly recommend prospective students, with a first degree not in Economics, to fully engage with the course to make the transition as smooth as possible. The course can also serve as a refresher for economists who have graduated a time ago.
