Overview

Economics is the study of questions that affect us all.

How do we achieve more equal growth and development? How do we address environmental concerns sustainably? How can financial institutions manage traditional challenges such as inflation and interest rates, as well as newer developments such as cryptocurrencies?

In this postgraduate economics course, you’ll enhance your ability to use the latest economic knowledge and analytical skills to find solutions to some of the world’s most pressing financial, environmental and development issues.

Our curriculum will expand your knowledge of economics and statistics, with a particular focus on quantitative analysis. You’ll find this skill invaluable in any successful employment role, from corporate market data analysis to global trade pattern research for public bodies.

As you advance, you’ll be able to specialise in modules of your choice, and even develop your big data knowledge further by progressing to our data science MSc.

We offer an international perspective at Kent. Students can study in Bangladesh as part of our co-delivery arraignment with Brac and North-South Universities, funded by the Turing Scheme. They also benefit from a close-knit supportive campus environment, and world-class research centres exploring themes such as development economics, macroeconomics, microeconomics and agricultural economics.
