Masters of Development Economics / Economics and Public Policy

This dual master's degree offers you the opportunity to combine in-depth knowledge of economic development with a thorough understanding of the way government policy is rolled out.

You'll study a program with a strong emphasis on quantitative techniques in econometrics, benefit/cost analysis and operations research (MDevEcon), alongside an economics-centred, multidisciplinary program (MEconPP). You'll also receive advanced training in areas including macroeconomics, econometrics, public policy and research.

There's a range of electives available, allowing study in fields such as health, environment, innovation and competition policy, international economics and politics, and quantitative techniques for project appraisals.

Additionally, this dual program lets you complete the requirements for two master's degrees over a two-year study period, rather than three years if the programs were taken separately.

Career opportunities include roles at central banks, public sector agencies, international organisations, and policy review and advisory boards.
