Economics (Policy Evaluation and Data Analysis) MSc

Economics helps us decipher and shape our complex world.

Our MSc in Economics (Policy Evaluation and Data Analysis) will help you build on your undergraduate studies to develop advanced capabilities in the discipline with an emphasis on learning how to conduct evidence-based policy analysis. Our specific focus on policy evaluation means you will be trained in methods to measure causal effects in microeconomics including programme evaluation methods and decomposition techniques, models for survival analysis and panel data models. The programme is designed to prepare you for a range of careers in which advanced economics analysis and independent thought are required, such as in government and business, think tanks and consulting.
