Course summary

Examine the most up-to-date analyses of business economics – at both firm and industry level – with our MSc Business Economics programme.

At the University of Reading, you will utilise techniques and evidence to understand how industries are structured, how organisations behave within them, and the impact of these factors on their performance.

Core modules provide detailed, up-to-date introductions to business economics, with a particular focus on industrial economics. A range of optional modules enables you to pursue your interests and develop a specialism.

Enhance your employability skills and gain hands-on experience through our Capstone Project module where you work in a team with other students on a project for an external organisation. It is an excellent opportunity for you to work on a real-world policy problem and be supervised by an academic. You will benefit from an independent analysis of an existing, or prospective, initiative, policy or area of concern.

Our MSc Business Economics helps develop a variety of transferable skills that are highly sought by employers:

We are committed to your employability and offer dedicated careers support to all our master's students.
