Course Overview

As a research topic, corruption and economic development could be approached from a number of different disciplinary angles including economics or business leadership.

Economics is perhaps the social science that requires the highest use of quantitative methods. Embarking on a research degree in economics provides you with the opportunity to acquire skills in data analysis and statistical packages that are highly transferable in the labour market. Abertay, through the Graduate School, offers specialised training that allows you to master these quantitative techniques. The vibrant research culture within our Graduate School encourages areas of cross and interdisciplinary working, allowing you to interact with researchers from other areas. Abertay is a member of the SGSSS network – a collaboration of Scottish universities whose goal is to provide world-leading postgraduate education and research.
