MSc in Economics (2 Year Programme)

Programme Code: TMECT

Department: Economics

For students starting this programme of study in 2024/25

Guidelines for interpreting programme regulations

Students without a strong background in economics are required to take the MSc programme over two years. In order to progress to the second year, which is governed by the 'Regulations for Taught Master's Degrees', students must attain or exceed the progression threshold for each of the four courses they have taken. The progression threshold is 55% of all courses taken. The Sub-Board of Examiners may, at its discretion, consider for progression candidates who fall marginally short of this requirement. However, students gaining the Diploma in a re-sit attempt are not eligible for progression onto the second year of the MSc, nor are students entitled to re-sit first year examinations already passed in order to achieve the progression standard. 

In Year 1 students are also required to attend EC2A0 Introductory Course in Microeconomic Principles.

In Year 2, students must take three compulsory courses, one unit of optional courses and an extended essay linked to the optional course as shown. Students are also required to attend EC400 Introductory Course in Mathematics and Statistics.

Please note that places are limited on some optional courses. Admission onto any particular course is not guaranteed and may be subject to timetabling constraints and/or students meeting specific prerequisite requirements.
