At the University of Bath, we pride ourselves on teaching excellence and real-world experience. We want to encourage students to consider the bigger picture of their area of study, to realise their potential and make a positive impact on society.
Within our Department of Economics, we offer a range of master’s courses to suit your interests. You can deepen your knowledge of the core strands of micro-, macroeconomics and econometrics, or specialise in finance and banking.
Our postgraduate courses include:
Our Applied Economics courses are also suitable for students who have an undergraduate degree in a social science or business-related discipline.
All our courses give you a wide range of optional units to choose from, ranging from programming to environmental economics, public policy analysis and behavioural finance. This allows you to focus on topics that interest you and build your skills around your future career ambitions.
Gain practical experience
Instead of choosing a traditional dissertation, you may also gain real-world experience by conducting a consultancy project (Economics) or policy briefs (Applied Economics) with an external organisation.
