Since we cannot yet meet our offer holders in person, we have created this webpage, where you can find out more about the MSc programmes from the Department of Economics.

There will also be opportunities for us to meet virtually through Zoom over the next few weeks on our MSc Programme Q&A sessions. We are very much looking forward to meeting you all in person and welcoming you to the Department!
