Essex pushes the frontiers of accepted wisdom, critically examining the decisions of individuals, the strategies of firms, and the policies of governments to understand and challenge the standard paradigms of economics. In this course, students build a thorough understanding of the key areas of economics, oriented towards issues that transcend national boundaries.
So, whether students want to specialize in international economics, if their first degree isn’t in economics or maybe their training doesn’t provide sufficient experience for the MSc courses, the MA International Economics may be the right choice.
There's always something fascinating going on in this Essex department, from regular lively debates with prestigious speakers in seminars, workshops and conferences to cutting-edge papers being published in leading journals, including American Economic Review, Econometrica, and Review of Economic Studies.
Study and work alongside some of the most prominent economists of our time. Essex's researchers are at the forefront of their field and have even received MBEs, with students coming from across the globe to study, research or work with them.
After completing the masters, students may wish to extend their knowledge with a research degree – many Essex graduates decide to stay for further study. Alternatively, the course also prepares students for employment; recent surveys have shown that higher degree graduates are more likely to obtain jobs at professional or managerial level.
Recent Master’s level Economics graduates have gone on to work for a range of high-profile organizations like the Bank of England and the International Monetary Fund.
