Economics
Are you interested in human behaviour and the influences behind day-to-day decision making? An economics masters helps you develop the technical skills to find solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues.
Introduction
The economy controls day to day living, from job creation to buying habits. By analysing economic data, economists can make predictions, based on trends, to inform decisions that will optimise the outcome of a task, such as how to allocate goods and resources.
By studying an economics masters, you could apply your skills to a diverse range of roles in fields such as business, financial services, government, non-profit and public policy among many others.
At Manchester Met, we’ll help you develop the technical skills to be a professional economist, with a blend of policy analysis, quantitative modelling and data analytics, all rooted in the research expertise of our department. You’ll also have the opportunity to study in Manchester, a city at the heart of big innovative ideas in public policy, including city region devolution, high speed rail and a booming health and life sciences sector.
I chose Manchester Metropolitan because of the course content. It is connected with industry so we can obtain more knowledge about how to apply theories, applications, and concepts to real world scenarios.

Many of the lecturers are very engaging with students. There is a mixture of small class modules with more focused teaching and larger classes in lecture theatres. The best unit for me has been Political Economy and the Climate Crisis.
