Economics

Overview

The Graduate Diploma in Economics from the University of East Anglia consists of a combination of undergraduate-level taught modules. There are compulsory modules in intermediate microeconomics, intermediate macroeconomics and econometrics. 

In additional to these, you will choose options from a range of modules covering areas including international trade, behavioural economics, economic thought and mathematical economics. The options give you the opportunity to study areas that interest you at an advanced level.

By way of additional support, the School of Economics runs an intensive course in Mathematics and Statistics for Economists in the fortnight before the degree starts in September. This incorporates the techniques of calculus, statistical analysis and statistical computing.

Outcomes

Upon successful completion, students taking this course usually progress to one of the Academic and Professional MSc degrees in the following year.  After they obtain the MSc degree they can progress to a PhD, but they are also qualified for careers as a professional economist in government, consultancy, financial institutions, international agencies and other similar organisations.
