Overview

Research focus

The Department is home to the Fraser of Allander Institute, a leading independent economic research institute focused on the Scottish economy giving students the opportunity to become part of a department with strong links to the world of policy and business.

In the Economics programme at the University of Strathclyde you'll benefit from a team of two supervisors with specialist knowledge in your field.

You'll join our economics research community, engage with our regular seminar series of external speakers, our brown bag workshop series to explore early research ideas, and with our annual Postgraduate Research Conference where you'll present your research.

Other requirements

General requirements

A first-class or upper second-class UK Honours degree, or overseas equivalent, in a relevant business or social science related subject.

For applications for MPhil we also normally expect a Masters degree in Economics, or overseas equivalent, that includes core classes in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics and a dissertation or research project.

When reviewing your academic achievements, we're particularly interested in grades which relate to independent research (for example, your research project or dissertation). A strong score in these elements may allow us to consider entry with a lower degree classification.
