This program will prepare studsents for entry to a postgraduate degree at the triple-accredited Lancaster University Management School, ranked world top 70 for Business and Management Studies (QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023).

The MSc Economics programme is designed for those who have already studied Economics and wish to deepen their knowledge. Students will join a select group of talented students, and the tailored learning experience allows students to tap into the wealth of expertise available in one of the UK’s largest faculties. This includes intensive support from a supervisor closely aligned to students' dissertation’s subject matter.

Lancaster has an outstanding international research reputation in game theory, industrial organisation, econometrics, applied microeconomics, empirical macroeconomics, labour economics, and the economics of education. Students will be invited to special guest lectures, research events, weekly seminar series, and annual workshops and conferences on subjects such as game theory and macroeconomics.

The three-block programme is made up of compulsory modules, students dissertation and optional modules which play to their strengths. Unlike some other Master's programmes, students will be taught how to research, read critically, write academically and present their results.

Students will develop rigorous training in economic theory and methods, which are extremely marketable. Graduates often secure successful positions in consulting companies, research centres, government departments, international agencies, or in the financial sector.
