Course content

Our Economics and Data Analytics MSc is one-year full-time course designed to give students in-demand economics and analytical skills. It is specifically designed for students that have studied a business-related undergraduate degree and want to build their knowledge in economics and applied analytics.

This is a growing area of employment, with a wide variety of professions and career pathways. Studying economics will provide an insight into both the microeconomic and macroeconomic environments, as well as common business problems such as pricing and risk management. At London Metropolitan University, we equip students with the tools to overcome the often “overwhelming task [of turning] big data into meaningful insights and answers”, as noted by The Operations Research Society.

Upon the successful completion of our Masters in Economics and Data Analytics, you'll have the knowledge and skills to combine data-rigorous methods with sound economic understanding.

You'll also be able to approach, contextualise and action the insights of problems empirically, using the data to find an analytical solution. These skills will be further solidified with your training in machine learning for data mining and model predictions.

With our Economics and Data Analytics MSc course, you'll gain in-depth knowledge in a variety of fields including the core principles of economics by studying tangible corporate challenges. You'll also delve into business intelligence and data analytics, equipping you with key skills in this field.
