Economics, MA (Hons)

This programme provides you with the opportunity to examine the economic incentives that shape and reconcile the important decisions made by individuals, businesses, governments and societies. You will also explore the macroeconomic outcomes that may arise from those decisions, such as:

• economic fluctuations

• growth

• unemployment

• crises

An understanding of these issues is vital for economic forecasting or influencing economic performance or policy. Why Edinburgh? Our staff makes up one of the leading groups of economic theorists in Europe. We are the base for the Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics. We receive invariably high ratings for academic standards, teaching and learning resources.
