Overview

Economics at University of Westminster is taught by an academic team of active researchers who also bring extensive professional experience from UK government departments and major international organisations. This ensures that your studies go beyond textbook economics, connecting theory directly to the real challenges.

Teaching is supported by authentic, applied forms of assessment that emphasise real-world problem-solving, offering a clear shift away from conventional exam-based testing and preparing you to use economics in the workplace.

Career:

As an economics postgraduate, you can look forward to excellent career prospects. Our students have gone on to successful careers in government and consultancy as economic analysts, regulatory economists and market analysts.

The strong international focus of the course provides an excellent opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in multinational companies or international organisations. Many graduates return to their countries of origin and are employed in developing international business opportunities or government institutions, while other graduates develop their careers with international charities or other non-governmental organisations.
