This course is designed for students with a strong quantitative background who want to deepen their understanding of how modern economies work. You’ll study advanced microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics, and you’ll explore newer approaches such as machine‑learning tools for economic analysis. Teaching is led by active researchers, so you’ll engage with ideas that are shaping current debates in theory, policy, and industry.
You’ll also build practical skills that economists rely on every day: framing research questions, working with real‑world data, and carrying out statistical analysis in Python, R, or Matlab. By the end of the programme, you’ll be confident applying economic reasoning to complex problems and communicating your insights clearly.
