Program Overview

The MSc Economics is a stimulating and challenging programme that provides international quality training in Economics and Econometrics.

Through a combination of theoretical principles and empirical tools, the programme emphasises ‘problem solving' and equips successful graduates with economic, quantitative and communication skills that are highly sought by employers in the public and private sectors.

Recent graduates have taken up positions at institutions like the Central Bank of Ireland, the Economic and Social Research Institute (ESRI), the Irish Government Economic and Evaluation Service (IGEES) and the Central Statistics Office, while others have pursued careers in economic consultancy, economic development, retail and investment banking, financial services and fund management. Some continue to PhD programmes to pursue an academic career. The diverse career paths reflect the adaptability and flexibility of our graduates.

The department offers four partial scholarships for entry to this programme – see here for details.
