About Economics, MSc - at De Montfort University

The current pandemic has restructured the economy in many countries, which affects the labour market and unemployment. Current events such as Brexit and regional trade agreements such as the CPTPP pose some questions about how globalization would evolve in the future. This course will give you the opportunity to discuss and propose solutions to these emerging problems.

During the course, you will build strong transferable skills in relevant quantitative methods and statistical techniques. It allows you to develop the subject-specific skills of quantification, evaluation and design to an advanced level and is supported by modules that provide you with an understanding of how to handle and organise data in a comprehensive way.

Employers value the transferable skills of well-evidenced empirical analysis and economists that are numerate and able to communicate economic ideas in reports and public audits, as required in many professions that economists join.
