Postgraduate prospectus

All Economics Postgraduate Taught Masters Programmes

Minimum academic entry requirements

• a 2.1 (or international equivalent) in a degree which has a substantial Economics component. We would also be looking for evidence of a sufficient quantitative background in prospective candidates.

Applications from current undergraduate students should indicate the subjects they are taking in their final year, even if they do not have results for them at the time of application.

Applicants who do not meet these criteria may be able to take the one-year Economics Conversion/Enhancement year – successful completion of which would enable progression onto the MSc/MRes programmes.

February start dates are available for the MSc Economics and MSc Economics (Development).

Minimum English requirements

• IELTS 7.0 (with not less than 6.5 in each of the four components)
• TOEFL 600 (paper-based test) or 250 (computer-based test) with a score of not less than 4 in TWE or 100 (internet-based test) with not less than 24 in each of the components

All MSc/MRes programmes consist of a 9-month taught component (comprising 2 semesters) and a 3-month dissertation over the summer during which students carry out a piece of independent research using the tools/knowledge gained during the taught component of the programme. A PG Certificate and a PG Diploma are available as intermediate qualifications on all MSc/MRes programmes. Full-time and part-time study options are also available. Individual units are also available as standalone units for Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

Specifically:

Full-time MSc	1 year
Full-time PG Diploma (semesters 1 and 2)	9 months
Full-time PG Certificate (semester 1)	4 months
