Master in Economics: General [60.0] - ECON2M1The second cycle courses offered by the Department of Economic Science are principally designed to train academics who can understand and analyse current practical economic and social questions, 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 60 credit Master 60 provides foundation training either for students who have just completed their first degree or an equivalent, or for students who have already done second cycle studies in another subjects or have gained at least five years’ professional experiences. It is mainly intended for students who have already completed a second cycle course. Those who have good grounding in quantitative methods, have studied economics as a subsidiary subject or professional experience in the field of economics will have a considerable advantage. For 60 credits, students can gain advanced training in an area of their choice.
