Economics (MSc)

Cardiff University

Master the analytical, quantitative, and ethical skills to tackle real-world challenges as you prepare to join the next generation of economics professionals. Focused on nurturing a new generation of economics professionals, our Economics (MSc) programme will give you the tools and techniques to succeed – either in your economics career or in the next phase of your studies. You’ll consider the social, economic and ethical implications of your decisions as you encounter the economics of labour, development, policy and trade. You’ll use world leading research and real-world consultancy examples to understand the practical problems you’ll face in the workplace. Alongside more traditional economics skills - theoretical modelling, the application of economics principles, policy analysis – you’ll develop your computer programming and numerical analytical skills, which are essential for empirical research. You’ll also refine the conceptual understanding and technical skills needed to conduct applied economic research. You’ll gain experience in interpreting and synthesising academic research in economics, strengthening your ability to confidently engage with and contribute to ongoing debates in the subject. You’ll graduate with the specialist theoretical knowledge and practical skills to address significant economic challenges
