All the courses offered by the Department of Economics approach the subject matter from a development perspective. Students on the MSc Economics with reference to the Middle East will complete courses on Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Econometrics and Growth and Development. In addition, students must complete two courses dedicated to the study of the economics of MENA, as well as an optional module and a dissertation in applied economics with a focus on one or more countries of the Middle East.
The objectives of the programme are:
To enable students to apply the principles of economic analysis to the design of economic policy with reference to the Middle East
To teach postgraduates the technical and analytical skills to qualify them to practice as professional economists
To enable practising professional economists to improve and update their skills and knowledge
To impart the skills and knowledge that enable students to progress towards PhD research
Students will benefit from studying with experts on the economics of the Middle East within the Department. More broadly, a large number of open lectures on topics relating to the Middle East will be available in various departments of the School throughout the year.
All students are required to complete the compulsory preliminary course in Mathematics and Statistics (including Computing) to begin studying on this programme. This course is taught over a three week period from the beginning of September covering mathematics, statistics and computing.
