The MSc in Development Economics provides training in the application of economic principles to the problems of international development. While providing deep insight into the problems faced by contemporary developing economies, the programme discusses the wide range of policies aimed at overcoming economic underdevelopment. The programme combines classical
approaches to understanding the process of development with modern explanations,
which involve research into social organisation and psychology. It scrutinises development through the lens of social norms and interactions,
which in traditional societies are as strong as market forces themselves. The
programme trains highly qualified professionals to pursue careers in national
and international organisations that foster economic development. It strongly
capitalizes on the School’s unique decades-long research expertise in the area.
All of our MSc
degrees equip you with a range of quantitative and analytical skills, and the
ability to communicate complex economic concepts in a clear and concise style.
Our programmes not only offer a stimulating education in economic theory, but
also develop your ability to apply economic knowledge, analytical tools and
skills to a range of national and international problems in the areas of
finance, development, agriculture and the environment.
