seeking to practice as a development economist in government, the
private sector, a multilateral organisation or an NGO.In addition to studying four compulsory course units, you'll have
the opportunity to specialise in particular areas of the subject via
four optional course units and a dissertation.The theory course units provide a thorough training in both contemporary macro- and micro-development theory.Applied and optional course units offer you an opportunity to
understand problems and policy prescriptions within both global and
national economic contexts.The quantitative course units, which include an applied
development project, enable you to test theories using data sets and
provide training in standard econometrics techniques and up-to-date
econometrics software packages.You'll also undertake independent research between June and September in the form of an approved dissertation.
