The world needs people who can address global challenges by analysing problems and finding solutions. This intellectually demanding and stimulating Masters program equips students with the tools to achieve this, and pursue an analytic career in Economics or rake the next step towards a PhD. It is designed for those who have already studied Economics and wish to deepen their knowledge. Students will join a select group of talented students, and the tailored learning experience allows them to tap into the wealth of expertise available in one of the UK’s largest faculties. This includes intensive support from a supervisor closely aligned to their dissertation’s subject matter.
Lancaster's Economics department has an outstanding international research reputation in game theory, industrial organisation, econometrics, applied microeconomics, empirical macroeconomics, labour economics, and the economics of education. Students will be invited to special guest lectures, research events, weekly seminar series, and annual workshops and conferences on subjects such as game theory and macroeconomics.
This three-block program is made up of compulsory modules, the dissertation and optional modules which play to the student's strengths. Unlike some other Masters programs, students will be taught how to research, read critically, write academically and present their results.
Students will develop rigorous training in economic theory and methods, which are extremely marketable. Graduates often secure successful positions in consulting companies, research centres, government departments, international agencies, or in the financial sector.
