About Us
As the home of the Industrial Revolution, Manchester is an ideal place to study economics and its rich industrial and commercial heritage is still very much in evidence; cotton warehouses converted to modern usage, railway bridges, viaducts, quays and peaceful waterways. Alongside this is the wealth of the great Victorian Manchester celebrated in ornate municipal architecture, adorned buildings, facades, stonework, steeples and spires.
Manchester today is one of the largest financial centres in Europe although it also retains a strong industrial and manufacturing base. However, for students education, music and sport are perhaps among Manchester's most famous attractions.
The department is based at the All Saints site near to the centre of the city. Staff are accommodated in a tastefully refurbished building linked to the Humanities building (The Geoffrey Manton Building). Both buildings provide very good teaching facilities incorporating the latest in teaching and learning technology.
The Department offers a range of undergraduate degree courses. We also make a significant contribution to teaching programmes offered right across the University. This wealth of expertise and experience allows for many different perspectives on economics analysis to be considered together with a wide range of specialist options which cater for the varied interests of our students.
Opportunities exist for postgraduate study for the degrees of MA, MPhil and PH.D.
