This is the first integrated BSc/MSc degree in Economics in Ireland: having achieved 55% or more in the BSc Economics, students have the option to automatically progress to the MSc Economics programme. This results in an MSc degree after four years.
This degree suits analytical students who have a passion to tackle pressing socioeconomic challenges such as poverty, unemployment, financial instability, gender and racial inequality and the effects of climate change.
BSc Economics students learn to take a scientific, evidence-based approach in order to understand, critique and create policies to combat economic and social problems.
Data analysis skills are developed steadily over the course of the degree.
From first year, students learn how to do independent research, not just consume knowledge created by others. The focus on independent research allows students to flourish based on their individual curiosity and strengths.
Throughout the degree, students take modules from a variety of disciplines such as Sociology, Geography, Law and Statistics. This allows students to develop synergies in their own research.
Students benefit from a personal academic advisor who guides them throughout their studies.
