Applicants are expected to have obtained an undergraduate degree in Economics from an accredited university, preferably a good honour or its equivalent.

Those with a good undergraduate degree but without previous training in economics, may be offered a place with added requirement of completing certain economics courses at undergraduate level.

All applicants are required to prove English proficiency, such as TOFEL (minimum score of 550) and/or IELTS (minimum score of 6.0).

If you are unsure about whether your qualifications are sufficient, complete an application form from our Graduate School’s website (Master’s Degree & Postgraduate Certificate/Diploma Programmes – UM GRS). Individual cases will be considered on their own merit.

Some applicants may be invited for an interview. Interview questions will likely be based on materials in macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics at the intermediate undergraduate level. Please visit this page for an update. (Link)
