Career opportunities

Economics helps us decipher and shape our complex world. It offers unparalleled insights into how decisions by individuals, businesses, and the government affect important aspects of everyone’s life, including employment opportunities, the prices of products and services, and the overall standards of living. The Economics MSc offered at the University of Surrey comprehensively covers the core areas of microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics in which you will develop a systematic understanding to position yourself at the forefront of the discipline. As well as acquiring outstanding theoretical knowledge, you'll also learn how to solve problems and bring your analytical strengths to bear on applied issues. The MSc in Economics features a series of lectures and workshops in research methods that will allow you to build the skills you need to carry out independent research in economics and complete your dissertation in the summer. We offer a range of elective modules which will allow you to tailor your course to meet your needs and interests. These modules reflect the full range of academic expertise and active research interests of members of staff. Some of Surrey's masters graduates have recently embarked on careers in roles such as:
Economists

Analysts (finance, business, data, trade, investment, and sales)

Audit managers

Consultants

Economic advisors

Regulatory advisors.
