Study an economics master’s degree at Bath - scholarships and bursaries available to those eligible

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:

• MSc Economics
• MSc Economics and Finance
• MSc Applied Economics
• MSc Applied Economics with Banking and Financial Markets

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.

Interested in an interdisciplinary course? We also offer:

• MSc Applied Psychology and Economic Behaviour
• MSc International Development with Economics
