Economics & Public Policy

This programme is designed for those who want to study Economics at postgraduate level but who do not have an extensive undergraduate background in Economics or those who plan on acquiring a Master’s degree in Economics. It is suitable also for individuals who are already registered secondary school teachers as it is suitable for the Teaching Council’s curricular teaching subject requirements declaration.

Students should hold a Level 8 honours degree with a minimum of an upper second class honours (2.2) result or equivalent prior learning that is recognised by the University as meeting this requirement. Applications with a lower result or a Level 7 qualification will be considered on a case-by-case basis. The admissions process might include an interview. Students should be comfortable with thinking quantitively. If they have little or no mathematical training in their previous university degree, they will be advised, prior the start of the program, to refresh fundamental mathematical concepts. We will provide them with relevant material (such as videos, problems sets, etc) to do so. Applicants whose first language is not English must satisfy the University's General Entry Requirements for taught masters programmes pertaining to English Language Proficiency.
