Master in Economics Integrated Master's

The tuition fee is 33,851 USD per year.

Students spend time in the Bloomberg Trading Suite, a realistic trading room providing access to real-world financial data, and in the behavioural economics laboratory where experiments on decision-making are carried out.

The programme is an integrated four-year Master of Economics and offers three distinct pathways after the first year – a general economics track, a quantitative econometrics track, and a behavioural economics track – allowing you to tailor your studies to specific interests. A range of optional modules such as international banking, risk management and public economics further expands the curriculum.

Each week combines lectures, problem-solving workshops and laboratory sessions, alongside research projects. In the later years you can undertake a semester abroad, a year in employment or internships through the Student Innovation Projects, gaining practical experience that prepares you for careers as professional economists.
