Introducing your course
This integrated master degree offers an alternative to a three-year UG programme plus one-year MSc, and it is eligible for four years of student loans. You will develop the conceptual, analytical and research skills you need to become a professional economist.
You can convert to the BSc Economics, if you wish, as the course is designed to be very flexible. In your first three years, you can take the same optional modules as a Single Hons Economics student, including language modules and interdisciplinary modules.
