My bad.

I totally forgot about that program.

But to be honest, if you really want a solid Msc degree in economics, you should avoid those tought at the intermediate level. One good way to figure out the programs is to look at the readings for the core courses.

If the program emphasizes MWG, then you know the level is solid and graduate (the level that is, not the quality of the teaching). If, however, they are using Microeconomics by Rubenfeld, as SSE seems to be using, then it is most likely at the intermediate level.

This is a quote I found on Amazon on Rubenfeld's book: "Second, even though I've had extensive economics background, the book could be suitable for beginners."
