Course Overview

The MSc Development Economics at SOAS University of London is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about understanding society. Based in Camden, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 1-year full-time and part-time structure. The MSc Development Economics is the flagship Master programme offered by the SOAS Economics Department. It combines the two core intellectual traditions nurtured for decades in our unique Department: a pluralist approach to economics and a focus on real-world development issues. As pluralism in economics becomes more prominent and needed, you will find courses that offer either pluralism or development, but not both. International tuition fees are £12,965 per year, home/UK fees are £25,320 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with a median graduate salary of £35,000 within three years, and a 100% continuation rate.
