MSc Business Economics / MSc International Business Economics

The globalisation of the world economy and the increase in competition among businesses have created a need for highly skilled economists able to work in complex business environments. The standard tools of economic analysis are no longer sufficient for corporate executives, for whom applied strategic business and financial techniques are becoming essential.

This programme is designed to build upon the knowledge and skills acquired at undergraduate level and apply them to real-world economic and business problems. Economics graduates will have the opportunity to extend their previous education by focusing more on business and economic policy issues.

There is a high demand for economics postgraduates who, by developing specialised skills areas on this course, have the ability to apply economic analysis and quantitative skills to business and economic policy issues. There are some excellent employment prospects for such economists in economic and management consultancy, multinationals, government agencies and in business and finance, especially in the City of London.
