tutonic Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 If you're planning on continuing on to a PhD in the future, avoid any and all programmes that aren't purely Economics (i.e. things like International Development, Policy & Economics, Applied Economics, etc), since they will be viewed less favourably by adcoms when you eventually apply.

therealslimkt Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 You say you're not interested in a PhD, which makes this forum substantially less useful. But what are your goals if not that? Knowing your goals is probably important for answering your question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
