This highly quantitative one-year MSc course equips you with the skills to analyse and interpret complex economic phenomena in today’s data-driven, dynamic global economy. The availability of big data and the use of algorithms in decision-making, whether in the private or public sector, has made it essential to have the ability to parse through large datasets, provide data-driven solutions and critically analyse their results.
The programme offers intensive training in state-of-the-art data science methods as well as economics and econometrics. This unique combination provides students with the tools to navigate the data economy through hands-on experience with analytical tools, machine learning techniques, and computational methods. You will gain expertise in critical analysis, data-driven problem-solving, and tackling technical challenges.
The MSc offers a combination of strong core studies, specialist options and the opportunity to conduct academic research under the guidance of world-leading experts. Warwick's Department of Economics, ranked 1st in the UK (The Good University Guide 2025) and 36th in the World (The QS World University Subject Rankings 2025), provides professional training in modern economics.
Graduates will be well-prepared to meet the rigorous standards of top national and international institutions and to excel in high-level PhD programs, to join leading public policy research institutions, or enter the private sectors where such skills are highly in-demand.
