Applied Economics

You will obtain a thorough understanding of the mechanisms that shape firm behaviour and market outcomes, which will empower you to thrive in a range of sectors, including consulting, finance, and data analysis.

What sets Applied Economics apart?

Unlike a classic Economics degree, a degree in Applied Economics has direct relevance to the private sector. You will gain a solid foundation in economic theory and learn how to apply these models to data on firm performance, real-world business cases, and reforms in economic policy.

How can firms thrive in a competitive environment? How should companies respond to economic shocks? By providing insight into these questions, you can help companies and policymakers navigate today’s complex market environment. Your analysis will be data-driven, based on a mathematical model of a particular market, and informed by a deep understanding of the overall economy. You will specialise in rigorous analysis of concrete markets without losing sight of the bigger picture.
