MSc Econometrics and Mathematical Economics (Two Year Programme)
Students without a satisfactory background in both economics and mathematics are required to take the MSc programme over two years. Students are expected to attend four courses during the preliminary year, three of which are examinable. Students who successfully complete the examinations at the end of the first year will be awarded a Diploma in Econometrics and Mathematical Economics. In order to progress to the second year, students must gain marks of 60% or higher in each examinable course at the end of their first year. The Sub-Board of Examiners may, at its discretion, consider candidates who fall marginally short of this requirement. However, students are not entitled to re-sit examinations already passed in order to achieve the progression standard.
