The MSc Economics with Data Science at the University of Bristol provides you with advanced training at the intersection of economic theory and cutting-edge data analysis techniques. This programme is ideal if you hold a degree in economics, computer science, mathematics, physics, or engineering, and possess a strong quantitative background. You will explore key areas such as economic analytics, econometrics with Python, and large-scale data engineering, preparing you to tackle complex economic challenges using computational tools and rigorous analytical methods. This degree equips you with the skills to understand and influence economic policy and practice.
You will study this Master's degree full-time on campus over one year, engaging with a curriculum that balances theoretical depth with practical application. Your learning will involve mandatory units in economic analytics, econometrics, and data engineering, alongside a significant dissertation (group project) that allows you to apply your knowledge to real-world problems, potentially through industry-led projects. You will develop expertise in machine learning for economics and choose optional units in areas like applied financial econometrics or policy experiments. Upon graduation, you will be well-prepared for roles as a data analyst, quantitative economist, or in economic consulting.
