The MSc in Economics can help you build the skills to navigate the complex, rapidly transforming and turbulent global economy. As one of three specialist Masters routes, our MSc Economics programme features a set of core and optional modules, culminating in a research-based dissertation. This flagship route delivers a balanced mix of broad and subject-specific knowledge sought by global employers in industry, banking, consultancy and policymaking, and by PhD programmes should you wish to pursue a research career.
The programme is delivered by the Department of Economics , renowned internationally for its research and teaching excellence and is one of four departments at Durham University Business School. The Business School is one of an elite group of institutions accredited by all three major business education accrediting bodies: the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), the Association of MBAs (AMBA), and the European Quality Improvement System (EQUIS).
