    Programme details

    urse description

    Northampton is a leading centre for economics and research-led teaching. Graduate students from across the globe come to study economics at Northamoton, attracted by our first-class postgraduate training and supervision in the core and specialist areas of economics.

    Many famous names from the world of economics have worked here at Northampton, including three Nobel Prize winners.

    The MSc also provides the option of specialising in the following areas:

    • econometrics;
    • environmental economics; and
    • health economics.

     

    Aims

    This course will:

    • provide balanced and rigorous training in modern economics theories and techniques at postgraduate level;
    • introduce you to key concepts, ideas, tools and techniques via core and optional course units;
    • demonstrate and develop your skills by writing a summer dissertation.

    Upon completion of the course, you should be able to read and understand the leading economics journals, develop economic models of your own from which to derive original results and offer a critique of underlying theories.

     

    Special features

    Quantitative methods preparation for the MSc:

    1. Please visit our Introduction to Quantitative Methods in Economics website for information about the minimum level of knowledge of mathematics and statistics that you should possess from your current or previous training.

    2. The website also provides details and content of our Introduction course on Quantitative Methods in Economics which builds on the knowledge gained in (1) and is designed to equip you with further technical skills that you will require before starting the MSc.

    3. You are strongly advised to attend this course which is offered, free of charge. The course will run during induction week and we recommend that you spend some time between July and September studying and familiarising yourself with the course material on the website, especially if you might not be able to attend the course. The importance of the course is illustrated by the fact that the marks contribute 10% towards the Maths Methods and Econometrics compulsory units of semester one.

     

    Teaching and learning

    Part-time students complete the full-time course over two years. There are no evening or weekend course units available on this route.  

    You must first check the schedule of the compulsory course units and then select your optional units to suit your requirements.  

    Updated timetable information will be available from mid-August and you will have the opportunity to discuss your unit choices during induction week with your Course Director.

     

    Coursework and assessment

    The Master of Economics is awarded by the University on the recommendation of the Board of the School of Social Sciences, Graduate Office. The degree will be awarded with a pass, merit or distinction.

    Students who fail a master’s degree may be awarded a Postgraduate Diploma if they satisfy the appropriate conventions. Once a diploma has been awarded in these circumstances, a student cannot re-enrol on a master’s degree.

    In Economics, there are three standard methods of assessment: 

    • written examination only;
    • written examination plus an essay, test, or project;
    • examinations are usually 2 hours in length.

     

    Course unit details

    There are typically five compulsory course units:

    • microeconomic theory;
    • macroeconomic theory;
    • mathematical methods in economic analysis; 
    • econometric methods, and;
    • cross section econometrics.

    In addition, you can choose from a wide range, three approved optional course units. Students undertaking the MSc Economics course are required to write a dissertation of between 12,000-15,000 words following exams in May and June.

    The MSc Economics allows you the option to specialise, if you so wish, in one of three areas; Econometrics, Environmental Economics or Health Economics, by selecting in the second semester specialism-specific units as detailed below. Students may decide to choose specialisms by the end of semester one.

     

    Econometrics specialism

    This specialism aims to provide balanced and rigorous training in modern theories in economics and econometrics at the postgraduate level. Although similar to the MSc in Economics, it differs in the level of econometric course units it provides.

    The aims are:

    • To provide advanced instruction and rigorous training in economic and econometric theories and the relevant methods of empirical research in those areas.
    • To develop your powers of inquiry, critical analysis, and logical thinking and to apply theoretical knowledge to current issues of policy and practice.
    • To encourage initiative, independent learning, and create awareness of the range of methodological approaches to research and problem solving and their implications for research findings.
    • To enable you to apply advanced research skills to a relevant research area in economics and/or econometrics, via course units and a dissertation.

    In addition to the five compulsory course units, you are required to take the following:

    • Econometric Theory
    • Applied Macroeconomics

    You then select one further course unit from an agreed list of options.

     

    Environmental Economics specialism

    This specialism aims to provide a balanced and rigorous training in modern theories and techniques in environmental economics at the postgraduate level. Although similar to the MSc in Economics, it differs in the specialist course units it provides.

    • You are introduced to key concepts, ideas, tools and techniques via core and optional course units, and have the opportunity to combine and develop your skills in writing a dissertation.
    • By the end of the course, you are able to critically engage with the current theory and practice in environmental economics. You are able to develop approaches and models of your own, based on the environmental problem at hand, from which to derive original results and offer a critique of existing theories and practice.
    • It provides training for those aiming to be environmental economists in national and international public (Defra, FSA, Environment Agency, OECD, etc) and private institutions including environmental consultancies. It also serves as a sound foundation from which to embark on a PhD in environmental economics.

    In addition to the five compulsory course units, you are required to take the following:

    • Environmental Valuation
    • Economics of Environmental Policy

    You then select one further course unit from an agreed list of options.

     

    Health Economics specialism

    This specialism aims to provide rigorous training in modern theories and techniques in economics of health and health care at postgraduate level. Although similar to the MSc in Economics, it differs in the specialist course units it provides.

    • You are introduced to key concepts, tools and techniques via core and optional course units, and have the opportunity to combine and develop their skills in writing a supervised dissertation.
    • Cutting-edge health related issues and policies will be critically examined and by the end of the course, you will be able to rigorously engage with current theory and practice in health economics. You can develop theoretical or empirical models of your own from which to derive original results and offer a critique of existing theories and practice.
    • The bulk of the teaching and research supervision on this programme is done by members of the Department of Economics and the NorthamptonCentre for Health Economics research group ( Institute of Population Health ).
    • It provides training for those aiming to be health economists in national and international public (NHS, WHO, etc) and private institutions including consultancies. It also serves as a sound foundation from which to embark on a PhD in Health Economics.

    In addition to the five compulsory course units, you will be required to take the following units:

    • Topics in Economics of Health
    • Economics of Health

    You then select one further course unit from an agreed list of options.

          Recognition in your country

          If you intend to use your Northampton University qualifications to seek work or undertake further study outside the USA, we recommend checking whether your intended qualification will meet local requirements for your chosen career. Read recognition in my country.

          Entry requirements

          Entry requirements

          You must hold a USA honours degree (or equivalent), preferably in English or a closely related subject, and preferably with at least a 2:1 or higher degree classification. As the MA in English assumes you will have completed an undergraduate degree in the subject, you will need some knowledge of undergraduate English literary studies to successfully complete this qualification.

          If your degree is not in English or a closely related subject, we strongly recommend that you read material from the set books list for MA English part 1 (A516). The Handbook to Literary Research (ed. Da Sousa Correa and Owens) outlines the skills you will need to study for this qualification.

          Before you enter the degree you must be able to:

          • write clear, concise, accurate prose
          • read large quantities of text quickly and accurately
          • classify evidence precisely and assess its value and reliability
          • argue logically and coherently
          • provide evidence in support of your ideas and arguments.

          If you’re in any doubt about the suitability of your qualifications or previous experience, please contact us for advice before you enrol.

           

          How long it takes

          You will be able to complete this masters qualification within two and a half years by studying the first module in a year and a half and the second module in a year.

          Career

          Career relevance

          This degree is relevant to careers that directly call on knowledge of English literature and culture. It may also be relevant for careers that demand skills in the creative use and analysis of texts of various sorts, critical thinking and organisation, and understanding of culture in a broad sense. It is also useful (particularly alongside relevant skills and experience) if you aim to work in the media, culture or knowledge industries – or are employed already in these areas and need further qualifications to progress.  A masters degree can be useful for professional development in teaching, and if you want to pursue an academic career it provides good preparation for the higher level research that is prerequisite (such as a PhD).

                        Teaching and learning

                        Computational thinking is becoming increasingly pervasive and is informing our understanding of phenomena across a range of areas; from engineering and physical sciences, to business and society. This is reflected in the way the Northampton University course is taught, with students able to choose from an extremely broad range of units that not only cover core computer science topics, but that draw on our interdisciplinary research strengths in areas such as the medical, health and life sciences and the humanities.
                           

                        Coursework and assessment

                        Lectures and seminars are supported by practical exercises that impart skills as well as knowledge. These skills are augmented through an MSc project that enables students to put into practice the techniques they have been taught throughout the course.
