This programme differs from the general MSc Economics in that it contains an additional core module in Experimental Economics and Finance. You may also choose to study Quantitative Methods for Finance instead of Quantitative and Research Techniques I. Furthermore, the compulsory dissertation is specifically related to the specialism, consisting an Experimental Economics Project and Dissertation.
The programme aims to provide you with a rigorous training in the techniques of economic and econometric analysis, with an emphasis on experimental methods, as an aide to understanding contemporary economic issues. It draws upon our expertise in the development, running and evaluation of experiments applied to economic and financial issues.
Like all postgraduate economics programmes in the School, our MSc Economics and Experimental Economics is accredited by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC). For UK and EU students, this means you can apply to the ESRC for funding assistance with both tuition fees and living expenses if you are intending to progress to a PhD.
I've always had a particular interest in economics and got my degree in Economics and Management from the University of London, by correspondence. During this time, I also worked in product marketing for Citibank, Singapore, devising marketing campaigns to promote their financial products across Asia.
These experiences made me realise I have so much to learn, which is partly what led me to apply for a postgraduate degree at Exeter. I'm particularly interested in Experimental Economics as it factors human behaviour into the economics. The course I'm doing also provides a good balance between the theory and practice.
