The Master of Social Sciences in Economics is a full-time programme over a period of two years. It is based on both coursework and project report. In the first year, students are required to take eight courses, of which four are compulsory, and of which the remaining four are chosen from a list of elective courses. The four compulsory courses cover microeconomic and macroeconomic theories, quantitative and research methods. The other elective courses are chosen from various standard sub-fields in economics.
In the second year, upon successful completion of all course requirements, students are required to write a project report. The project reportis a demonstration of the student's ability to conduct independent research.
Applicants are expected to have obtained an undergraduate degree in Economics from an accredited university, preferably a good honour or its equivalent.
Those with a good undergraduate degree but without previous training in economics, may be offered a place with added requirement of completing certain economics courses at undergraduate level.
All applicants are required to prove English proficiency, such as TOFEL (minimum score of 550) and/or IELTS (minimum score of 6.0).
If you are unsure about whether your qualifications are sufficient, complete an application form (downloadable from our Registry's website) with your academic transcript. Individual cases will be considered on their own merit.
