MSc Economics
“Having completed an undergraduate degree in economics and spent two years working in the Government Economic Service, I sought a Masters degree to improve my analytical skills both to help in my career as an economist and to satisfy my personal interest in the subject. I chose the MSc Economics programme at Bath for its reputation as a rigorous programme of study and from having previously visited
the city itself and considered it a good place to spend a year. On both fronts I have not been disappointed: the programme has thoroughly tested and expanded my abilities as an economist and I have found living in Bath a great experience due to its attractive and relaxed environment.
The units available allowed for a wide range of topics to be covered. My optional and core units offered detailed insights into economic problems and helped me develop a more thorough understanding of analytical techniques. Another benefit of the programme is that it is well organised and classes are not too large, allowing for close interaction with the academic staff and a friendly atmosphere which has been invaluable in getting the most out of the material. Overall, I feel that the programme has helped me improve as an economist and I look forward to applying these skills in work after an enjoyable year.”
