Development and International Economics MA

This MA focuses on the problems of economic development in the changing context of the international economic relationship. It will also provide a thorough grounding in macroeconomic and microeconomic analysis, in applied econometrics, in a range of approaches for dealing with economic policy issues, and in the long-term historical and conceptual context of contemporary debates in economics.
This course allows you to develop your general knowledge of economics and econometrics, and also enables you to specialise in one of five pathways.
You can switch to a research degree after completing the core modules if you wish, replacing the optional modules with further research skills, a literature review and conference presentation and poster.
It will be possible to combine economics with another postgraduate degree course as a major, half or minor field.
Teaching staff at Kingston University are research active, keeping your studies at the cutting edge of latest developments.
The course aims to develop your skills in a direction that matches what many employers expect when hiring economists.

The Development and International Economics MA can lead to a range of career opportunities in the public and private sectors, including national and international government agencies and non-governmental organisations, and commercial organisations in sectors ranging from the City of London to trading and manufacturing businesses of all sizes.
