Program Summary
The MSc Economic Policy offers solid training in the fundamental principles of economic policy, grounding them in the evolution of economic theory and policy practice. It provides a platform for critical analysis and discussion of policy design and evaluation methods linked to real-world problems, without requiring a first degree in Economics for enrolment.
Students will explore government actions and strategies designed to achieve policy objectives under specific political and socio-economic conditions. The programme addresses key policy challenges, including climate change and green finance, industrial competitiveness and structural transformation, poverty and inequality, corruption and ineffective states, and labour market and social protection policies, among other concerns.
Optional regional modules offer students an opportunity to delve into regional policy challenges, aligning with the established tradition of SOAS Economics. Moreover, participants can specialise in one of three areas: 1) Economic Policy and International Finance, 2) Economic Policy and the Environment, and 3) Economic Policy and Institutions.
