Economics as a discipline has become more relevant than ever as a means of understanding contemporary trends in the global economy and in providing the tools and techniques for businesses and governments to analyse, interpret, and respond to the local and global challenges they face. The MSc in Applied Economics course aims to provide successful students with a deep, systematic, and structured knowledge of economic theories and principles, as well as the practical skills which will enable them to develop a career as a professional economist or economic consultant. Students develop the ability to understand contemporary economic problems in micro and macroeconomics, development economics, and finance, as well as learning to apply advanced knowledge to analyse policy measures and their impact on government, businesses, and citizens’ welfare. Additionally, students learn to effectively communicate the outcomes of econometric analyses and give advice to policymakers and business leaders to assist them in making better decisions.
