Our Economics MRes is anEconomic and Social Research Councilrecognised degree, which will introduce you to a broad range of traditional research methodologies and emerging techniques. This course is an excellent ‘springboard’ for aPhD in economicsbut you can also study it as a stand-alone master’s degree to get ready for research-focused roles in commercial, policy and professional organisations. You’ll gain a deep understanding of key theories in micro- and macroeconomics, and essential skills to design and undertake empirical research in these areas. You’ll be taught by leading academics who regularly publish in top-tier international journals and have substantial experience in writing and undertaking research grants. MRes courses place more emphasis on research skills, so if your goal is not to move on to a PhD or research-focused roles, we recommend you consider aspecialist master’s degreeinstead.
