Master of Science - Economics (2 Year)

专业介绍

Program Description

Nottingham Trent University's MSc Economics degree has been designed to give students an in-depth understanding of economic concepts, principles and techniques by focusing on the application of economics to contemporary real-world issues.

Students will be encouraged to ‘think like an economist’ through the application of economic ideas and methods drawn from a range of alternative perspectives. By studying economics here, the emphasis is on the application of versatile tools, techniques and methods of thought which are distinctively associated with professional economists.

Students will have the opportunity to work hands-on with economic tools and techniques, including the use of Nottingham Trent University's state-of the-art Trading Room. Students will learn how to access economic phenomena, using theory and evidence to draw insights into the underlying causes and importantly their impact on people, businesses and the wider society.

Finally, in the third semester, students will choose an experiential project. With the opportunity to use their skills in a real-world setting, students can choose from completing a consultancy experience project, an internship experience project, a business research project or a global experience project.

What the student will gain from this degree:

• Apply advanced economic concepts and techniques to analyse problems in scare resource allocation.
• Synthesise and critique a range of economic ideas and methods relating to issues and problems in the allocation of scarce resources.
• Be able to apply advanced economic concepts and techniques to evaluate international trade and investment flows.
• Learn how to synthesise and critique a range of methods employed in evaluating prospective investments in goods and services.
• Evaluate the rigour and validity of published research and assess its relevance to the practice of economics.
• Make recommendations for organisational practice based on theoretical insights through a process of experiential or applied learning.
• Develop a critical understanding of the role of the economics discipline in the global context.
