We offer three MSc programmes that provide you with a high-quality and thorough training in economics and econometrics.
The programmes are research-oriented and are highly challenging, making heavy use of analytical theory, mathematics and statistics.
The Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics (SGPE) is part of a unique collaborative venture that combines the teaching expertise of eight Scottish universities:
All three MSc programme degrees are awarded by the University of Edinburgh and are taught in Edinburgh by Economics faculty from the associated Scottish universities who belong to the SGPE.
A strong UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent, in economics or mathematics related subjects. We look for high grades from your undergraduate studies covering calculus and integration, probability theory and linear algebra.
Some applicants may receive an offer that is conditional on successful completion of our Pre-sessional Summer Programme.
You can apply without having a graduate admissions exam result (GRE or GMAT), but if your undergraduate degree was awarded by an institution outside the UK then we prefer applications that include one of these. We generally look for a quantitative reasoning result in the 85th percentile or higher. We do not formally consider results from the Verbal and Analytical sections in our assessment of your application.
