Schwerpunkte / Curriculum - MA Economics for Business

The programme consists of three sequential stages each of one semester's duration (or one academic year for those taking the part time option).

Stage 1 from October to January (leading to PgC) provides the building blocks of principles and theories needed for this level of study of business economics. Emphasis in stage one is divided between the academic rigour of the main theory courses and the development of more applied courses designed to develop relevant economic and business skills.

Stage 2 from February to June (leading to PgD) is designed to introduce more advanced aspects of economic decision-making and finance.

Stage 3 from June to September (leading to MSc) consists of a 14,000 word dissertation.
The part time mode for the course (available for home/EU students) has the same philosophy and sequence of subjects as the full time mode, and students may alternate between the full and part time modes if such a pattern is best suited to their circumstances.
