Postgraduate Economics


Entry requirements


To be considered for our programmes you should hold a good first degree from a UK university (or international equivalent) in Economics or equivalent (e.g. a degree with a high mathematical/quantitative content).


Students are drawn from a variety of backgrounds but must have a good basic knowledge of quantitative methods such as statistics and mathematics. It is therefore important that your first degree contains a substantial element of strong quantitative skills.


The majority of our students have studied economics but we have also recruited students from other disciplines, including mathematics, science or engineering. First degrees in business or management may also be considered.


English language requirements


If your first language is not English, evidence is required of an appropriate level of English proficiency. We look for either IELTS or TOEFL.


For all the postgraduate economics masters programmes listed in this brochure, the levels usually required are:


• IELTS 6.5 (with not less than 6.0 in each of the four components) or


• TOEFL 580 (paper-based) or 237 (computer-based) or 92 (internet-based).


If you wish to improve your English proficiency before commencing your studies, pre-sessional language training can be arranged through the University’s English Language Centre www.bath.ac.uk/elc/courses.


“It was a great opportunity to receive an international scholarship knowing it to be a very competitive one. Studying at Bath has been interesting, challenging and even better than I expected. It has been a wonderful experience. I learnt a lot both in and outside of the classroom and met a wide range of people.


And the city? It is such a lovely place!”
