PDF for printing» MSc Economics (Development)
Overview
- Builds on students’ previous studies of economics, providing an in-depth knowledge of microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics both theoretical and applied within a development focus.
- This programme follows a similar pattern to the MSc Economics but with much more of a development focus. The main difference lies in the options that can be taken and the dissertation which comprises one third of the overall mark and must be in a development-related subject.
- Provides a foundation for those wishing to pursue a PhD.
The unique structure comprising micro-based units delivered in the 1st semester and macrobased units delivered in the 2nd semester enables:
- separate start dates in October and February each year
- separate PG Cert Microeconomics (Development) and PG Cert Macroeconomics (Development) (semester 1 and 2 respectively)
Core subjects: Microeconomics; Macroeconomics; Econometrics (cross section, panel data and time series); International Development and Poverty; Development Economics; Transition Economics.
Options: Management of Development; International Policy Analysis; Political Economy of Globalization; World Politics; Sustainable Development and Livelihoods; Policy Theory and the Politics of Developing Countries; Sociology and Social Anthropology of Development; A Regional Specialism.
The final third of the programme comprises a development-related dissertation.
