Public Economic Management and Finance
International Development Department (IDD), University of Birmingham

Our Public Economic Management and Finance programme is based on our conviction that economic concepts are easily grasped and applied when approached practically. It works from the macro level down to the sectoral and firm level in order to build your confidence as an economist. It explores practical techniques of economic management and financial analysis, economic data (you are encouraged to use data from your own country), report writing, and presentation. The emphasis of this programme is on making policy and strengthening economic management capacity.

Entry requirements

Candidates should have a good Honours degree, or equivalent from an approved university (or an equivalent professional qualification in a related field). Degrees from all disciplines are considered. A candidate’s work experience is also taken into consideration. Applicants whose previous experience has not fully prepared them for an intensive one-year Masters programme may opt to undertake a course of study beginning with a one-year Graduate Diploma in International Development with English. Upon successful completion of this year, these students can then enrol upon one of IDD’s Masters programmes.
