Our Graduate Diploma in Economics addresses a key market need for advanced economics education. Designed for those with undergraduate degrees in other fields who want to transition into economics, this specialized conversion program provides the necessary training without requiring a full undergraduate degree commitment.
No previous economics background is needed. The Graduate Diploma in Economics delivers comprehensive training in modern economic principles and methodologies, teaching you to apply economic analysis to real-world challenges. Importantly, you'll also acquire essential mathematical and statistical skills for economic studies. This demanding one or two-year program prepares you to compete effectively with economics undergraduates.
As an undergraduate-level qualification, many graduates enter the workforce directly after completing the course, while others use it as a foundation for pursuing an MSc in economics or related fields.
The intensive one-year full-time option enables swift development of economic expertise and is tailored for working professionals. Those preferring a more gradual pace should consider the two-year part-time alternative with a reduced workload.
