Dissertation
You can choose to do a dissertation on an economic area that interests you or that is most useful in your career. This will allow you to apply your newly acquired knowledge to a specific problem or debate.
Consultancy project

You’ll conduct appropriate research and data analysis (if necessary), before presenting your findings as a written report and presentation.
Consultancy project numbers are limited each year. You’ll apply for a suitable project with one of our external partners and will receive support from us during this process. If a suitable project can’t be secured, you will complete a dissertation instead.
You should have a bachelor’s honours degree or international equivalent, typically a 2:1 or above.
