Programme overview
This is a fast-track, nine-month programme which provides a rigorous training in core skills in analytical Economics and Econometrics, as well as allowing some specialisation in chosen areas of the subject.

For graduates intending to pursue further study, the programme is designed to meet entrance requirements for postgraduate programmes at Masters level or higher.
Entry requirements
