If your initial degree isn't in economics, or if your economics background lacks sufficient preparation for our MSc programs, the MA Economics could be an ideal fit.

Game theory, public economics, fiscal and monetary interventions, growth models
Contemporary theory and analytical techniques for policy applications
Rigorous economic reasoning and equilibrium concepts
Quantitative econometric approaches
You'll master fundamental microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometric techniques. Additionally, you can specialize through elective modules like Managerial Economics and Market Research, Global Trade Dynamics, and Financial Economic Theory.
