案例分析
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).

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.
