The MPhil in Economics is a one-year master’s degree that runs from mid-September to late July. This degree is specifically aimed at candidates who are interested in undertaking a master’s degree that will give them the technical training required to undertake a career as a professional economist working for, say, the UK Government Economic Service, or an economics consultancy.


The MPhil in Economics is designed for students who wish to obtain a one-year master’s qualification before leaving academic economics and is not designed for students who wish to continue to the PhD programme.  However, if a student is determined enough to continue their studies at the PhD level, there may be some leeway to transfer to the MPhil in Economics Research within the first two weeks of commencement of the course.
