Master's courses
Choose from a range of programmes reflecting the changing global economic environment, and examine the links between changes at national and international level.
We offer a range of master's courses in economics, public policy, business economics and economics and finance.
If you're an international bachelor's graduate and wish to progress onto any of our master's programmes in Economics, you may enroll on our Economics Pre-Master’s Programme. This is a two semester course where you'll study foundation modules to prepare you for your postgraduate study at Reading.
