Gain the fundamental tools of a professional economist with our MSc Economics degree, including how to assess a wide range of theoretical, empirical and policy-related issues.

Led by experts from the University of Reading’s Department of Economics, you’ll benefit from interactive, applied learning across a number of key areas. These include:

  • micro-principles of economic behaviour
  • macro-outcomes of national and global importance
  • methodological, theoretical and applied issues critical to the study and practice of economics and economic policy
  • current statistical software and other applications used in economic analysis, both in the public and private sectors.

You will also have the opportunity to specialise your degree – aligning it to future career aspirations or interests – by choosing from our range of optional modules.
