ABOUT
What you will study
The MRes Economics course is designed to lead on to our three-year PhD Economics course, providing the foundation towards doctoral research. Alternatively, you can also graduate with a stand-alone MRes degree after one year.
You’ll study research-oriented modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics at an advanced level, and complete a research project with an MRes dissertation. You’ll gain an advanced understanding of research methods and techniques, enabling you to apply your knowledge to a range of economics problems.
Our MRes will provide you with the transferable skills and knowledge to pursue doctoral research in economics and employment as professional economist in a research environment.

We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.

Academic year structure

The Economics MRes is designed to provide the foundation for a subsequent PhD Economics course, during which students take advanced field modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics. For further details see our PhD Economics course page.
