The Programme - An Overview
**As of 2016/7 the Department is pleased to offer a new pre-sessional course designed exclusively for EME students as well as a new core compulsory course in advanced macroeconomics. Prospective students interested in applying for EME should read the information here**
This MSc programme is designed to meet the needs of those who wish to take a more mathematical approach to economics. It has proved popular with mathematicians, statisticians, physical scientists and engineers converting to economics, as well as to graduate economists.
The programme structure allows students to specialise in a mixture of econometrics or economic theory. The technical level of the material covered is perhaps higher than for any other master's degree in the area, and the programme has a long-standing international reputation, with many distinguished economists and econometricians among its graduates.
Subject to attaining the required grades, students may progress to the MRes/PhD Programme. Those intending from the outset of their studies to pursue a research training, can apply for the MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics (Research). See the Research Students page for details.
