Master of Research - Economics

University of Surrey

Program Description

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