International Business Economics

TheMSc in International Business Economics course at the University of East Anglia is part of our Applied Training program, which is designed to provide key skills in economics. You’ll gain a firm foundation in your subject through compulsory taught modules in topics relating to economic concepts, econometrics, international trade, and multinational firms. Alongside this, you'll choose from a wide range of optional modules on topics such as finance, financial mathematics, environmental economics, and economics of the mass media. Towards the end of your 12 months with us, you’ll write a dissertation, which will be supervised by a member of the School of Economics. The course helps you develop a range of transferable skills, including data analysis, as well as investigating the motivation and financial practices of international firms.

We offer specialised structural support to help you negotiate your Master’s course. This includes compulsory, intensive pre-sessional training before the start of teaching on your course modules. This training incorporates the techniques of calculus and statistical methods in the economic context, and also introduces you to the specialist econometric software STATA that you'll use throughout your MSc program. Over the course of the year, we’ll also give you training in the use of various online data sources that are likely to be useful in your dissertation research.

In addition to receiving first-class academic training, you’ll be able to enjoy the wealth of opportunities that UEA offers to cultivate non-academic and sporting interests. You’ll also enjoy the beautiful and historic city of Norwich, where the campus is located.
