The second cycle training available at the Department of Economic Science is designed to train academics  to understand and analyse the practical economic and social issues of their time, explain and communicate their analyses to a wide range of audiences, put their analyses in wider contexts  and go on to work with specialists from other disciplines.

 

The precise objective of the 120 credit Master in economic sciences with econometrics is to provide the economist with advanced methodological tools and strong analytical skills. It is therefore centred on the research focus and designed for students who intend to move on to a doctorate. This two year programme will provide them with research skills so that they are as well equipped as possible to do a doctoral dissertation.

This programme corresponds to the MPhil of foreign universities (for example the UK and the Netherlands) which offers a two year second cycle research-led programme leading on to a doctorate.

From the outset, this programme requires a good level in mathematics and statistics for economists.
