The MSc in Quantitative Economics for Business and Management is designed for students who want to combine advanced economics with the professional skills needed to solve real organisational problems. The programme brings together rigorous training in microeconomics, macroeconomics and the world economy, econometrics, analytics, and behavioural economics with a strong emphasis on consulting, project management, strategic thinking and stakeholder communication. QuEB is built for students who want to do more than analyse data. It prepares them to frame problems clearly, evaluate evidence rigorously, and turn quantitative insight into practical recommendations for businesses, policymakers and organisations. This applied focus runs throughout the programme and is strengthened through challenge-based learning and industry-linked projects. |

| Additional Admission Requirements: | Applicants who do not meet the minimum entry requirements may be considered for admission under Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL). This may be based on learning they have acquired in a work-based environment, subject to a minimum of three years’ relevant professional experience, and/or for learning that you have gained from life experiences to support your personal and career development, including other relevant professional and/or educational achievements.
Admission through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) is considered on a case-by-case basis and is normally limited to exceptional or special circumstances. RPL is a structured, staged process designed to identify, assess and formally recognise prior learning in accordance with the National Framework of Qualifications. The process comprises five stages: Information, where applicants are introduced to RPL opportunities and the University’s procedures; Identification, which involves reflecting on and articulating prior learning gained through formal, non-formal and informal contexts; and Documentation, during which applicants formally evidence their learning through appropriate materials such as a CV, job descriptions or employer confirmation. Applicants are required to complete these first three stages and to clearly indicate their intention to apply via special case admission procedures, demonstrating how their prior learning is comparable to a qualifying undergraduate award in terms of academic level, training and assessment.
The Assessment stage is conducted by academic staff and involves evaluation of the applicant’s documentation, normally followed by an interview in which the applicant must demonstrate the relevance and currency of their learning, alignment with the programme, clarity of career goals, and equivalence to the corresponding undergraduate qualification. The final stage, Certification, provides successful applicants with formal recognition of their prior learning, which may support programme entry, advanced standing and/or exemption from specific programme modules. |
