Overview/Contact Information (Graduate Studies)

The NUS Economics Department has more than 50 faculty members. We are consistently ranked as the best Economics Department in Asia and among the top 20 in the world.

The Department offers the following programs:

  • The Master of Economics is a taught masters program that can be completed in one to one and a half years. This program has two tracks: the career-oriented Applied Economics track and an academic-focused Quantitative Economics track. 
  • The Master of Social Sciences (Research) is a masters program with both taught and research components, which typically takes two years to complete. Many graduates from this program go on to pursue further studies in economics at NUS or elsewhere.
  • The PhD in Economics is a research degree that usually takes four to six years to complete. The first two years will be primarily devoted to coursework, and students focus on research in subsequent years.
