saindoja Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 The US seems very flexible about this: so long as you have a quantitative background and a few Econ classes, you are good. I have a background in Engineering / Physics and I am interested in a Masters in Economics, possibly going for a PhD later. How are things in the EU regarding this?

Dommull Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I answered in the other thread but will put my answer here too, for completeness 🙂  I'm not super familiar with EU master's but can give you my impression about UK master's admissions, which I imagine are more similar to EU than US admissions. It's not completely unheard of for people with strong maths backgrounds to get into Econ master's programmes with little econ experience, but it does seem to be quite rare. Personally, I did a graduate diploma in economics as a stepping stone to a master's. I mainly applied to master's in the UK but this got me offers from a couple of EU programmes too. It's a frustratingly long route to an econ PhD but it seems to be a reliable way of transferring into econ and it's a good way to try econ without committing to a master's or PhD. This is the programme I did, but there are others: https://www.bbk.ac.uk/study/2022/postgraduate/programmes/GDGECNMC_C/0/economics-graduate-diploma 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
