The MSc Economics programme offers distinctive training in both mainstream and alternative economic perspectives, preparing you with essential analytical tools to tackle global economic challenges.
You'll explore groundbreaking research on topics including climate change macroeconomics, shadow banking's influence on financial stability, industrial ecosystem dynamics, inequality drivers and consequences, environmental justice in climate-aligned development, and gender's role in economics.
Macroeconomic courses examine diverse theoretical approaches to inflation, unemployment, inequality, monetary systems, climate change and policy responses. Microeconomic components compare various perspectives on market imperfections, risk assessment, market organization and production theories, with economic modeling central to these studies.
Econometric training covers contemporary techniques and their application to real-world problems. Regional-focused electives like China's Global Development Role, African Economic Progress, and Middle Eastern Political Economy draw on SOAS's expertise. Additional options including Environmental and Development Economics, International Finance, and Sustainable Finance allow deeper exploration of economic-financial-ecological interconnections and current policy discussions.
R programming is integrated throughout multiple courses, teaching you to simulate economic scenarios, evaluate policies, and perform econometric assessments using this tool.
Participants may pursue dissertation projects jointly supervised with major international bodies like ITC, UNIDO, UNDP and the World Bank.
