MSc in Economics (MSE)

The Master of Science in Economics (MSE) programme feature a strong yet flexible core. We offer an entry path for students without prior training in economics, tracks that sharpen your focus and a wide range of electives in your chosen track. You will also enjoy the flexibility to take modules outside your track or programme for a fulfilling, personalised programme. The programme is available for part-time or full-time study.

• Applied Economics (full-time or part-time)

• Econometrics and Quantitative Economics  (full-time, with part-time option if able to take weekday daytime classes)

Part-time study is available only to Singapore-based students (citizens, permanent residents, and those holding valid employment passes).

Programme Structure

The MSE is a 16 course unit (CU) programme. Students with strong economics knowledge and quantitative techniques may take the accelerated pathway, starting with the Core. Students from other disciplines who do not have the necessary training in economics theory and quantitative techniques are required to complete the Foundation component before proceeding with the rest of the programme.

*Exempted for students on accelerated pathway and students from partner universities.
From AY21/22, each course unit (CU) comprises ten 3hr sessions. The academic requirement for graduation is a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 2.50 out of 4.00.

Foundations (4CU)

The Foundations component is intended for strong students from non-Economics backgrounds who do not have the necessary training in economic theory and advanced quantitative techniques required by the MSE. Students with strong economics knowledge and advanced quantitative techniques are exempted from this component.

Core (3CU)

The MSE Core equips students with rigorous knowledge in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics, which provides the analytical framework on which sub-areas of economics are built. Students with very strong quantitative skills may apply to take the PhD level versions of these courses.
