Master of Science in Economics Application Form at AU 2027

The MS Economics programme is designed for students who are looking to learn how to address complex questions through a deep understanding of economic theory and its application through rigorous data analysis. It provides a training in applying economic models and tools to the changing needs of corporates, the financial sector and policy institutions.

Economists today have to be equipped with interdisciplinary skills to address problems in the society and economy. Students will be trained in theory and data analytics to critically analyse and evaluate real world problems in micro and macro contexts concerning human and firm behavior in the domains of finance, industrial organisation, education, health and environment.

With a rigorous exposure to advanced economics concepts, the student can start a career as an analytical economist in corporate or policy organisations, look for opportunities in finance, or pursue doctoral education. The programme provides an opportunity to develop expertise in financial economics with a pedagogy that integrates data analytics with modern behavioural and institutional aspects of finance.
