Master of Economics

Entry requirements are undergraduate work in (calculus-based) economics, at least at the "intermediate" level, and often as a major, and a sufficient level of mathematical training (including courses in probability and statistics; often (multivariable) calculus and linear algebra; and sometimes mathematical analysis.)

Typically, the curriculum is structured around core topics, with any optional coursework complementary to the program focus.

At this level, the topics covered are microfoundations and dynamic stochastic general equilibrium, and allow for heterogeneity, relaxing the idea of a representative agent.

In theory-focused degrees, and those preparing students for doctoral work, this coursework is often in these same core topics, but in greater depth.

In terminal or applied or career-focused degrees, options may include public finance, labour-, financial-, development-, industrial-, health- or agricultural economics.
