The Economics dissertation

In their final year of the Economics course , students write a dissertation on a topic of their choice. Here are some of the many questions that Christ's students have explored in their dissertations: 

  • Does CEO pay structure push them to take more risks?
  • Do longer-serving politicians get more 'pork' for their constituents? 
  • Who do charities like Oxfam give their money to and why?   

Example dissertation

To see one example, click here for the work of Christ's alumnus Sajan Shah, who won the Faculty or Economics Adam Smith prize for Best Dissertation in 2018 for his work ' The price of free education: Extracting the school quality premium in housing using Brighton and Hove's school admission reforms '.

The Manuscripts Reading Room administers the University's collection of doctoral and higher degree theses. Before 1920, degrees were awarded on the basis of examinations or certificates of research, and little written work composed specifically for such purposes survives, other than a small collection of Advanced Student Dissertations. Revised regulations were approved, instituting the new degree of PhD, which required a written work to be deposited in the University Library. Our collection of doctoral theses thus dates from 1921, when just four arrived in the Library. Statistics illustrate a great increase in output: for the academic year 2015-2016 just over one thousand new dissertations were approved and added to our collection. There are now over 39,000 volumes.

Course details

At homerton.

Homerton accepts on average eight to 10 undergraduate students in Economics per year, which forms a community of around 25 to 30 undergraduate students across the three years. Students come from various educational backgrounds and countries. For example, at the moment, alongside UK nationals, we have students from Germany, Cyprus, Hong Kong, Singapore, Vietnam and China.

Hear from our students

Economics at Cambridge is a three-year course (called the Economics Tripos). In the first year of the Economics Tripos — referred to as Part I — you will study five subjects or ‘papers’: Microeconomics; Macroeconomics; Quantitative Methods (Mathematics and Statistics); Political and Sociological Aspects of Economics; and British Economic History.

In the second year of the Tripos (Part IIA) you will take three compulsory subjects: Microeconomics; Macroeconomics; and Econometrics (the application of statistical methods to economic data). In addition, you can choose one optional paper from among Development Economics, Labour, Mathematics, International Relations, Politics or Sociology.

In the third and final year of the Tripos (Part IIB) you will take two compulsory subjects, Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, and choose two optional papers from a wide range of specialist subjects which are offered each year. In addition, you will write a dissertation on an economic topic of your own choice. More detailed information about the courses and the Tripos is available on the Faculty website .

We are looking for students who have the academic ability and potential to succeed on the course, as well as the necessary interest in and motivation for the subject.

In order to explore Economics in more detail we would recommend the introductory reading for prospective applicants and offer holders available here  and/or the offer holder reading list available  here .

You can also explore your chosen subject through the  Homerton Resources page .

Both Arts and Science subjects provide a suitable school background to Economics at University and there is not one ideal combination of subjects you should be studying. While most students have taken Economics at school, this is not a requirement.

However, a strong background in basic mathematical and statistical methods is a core requirement for admission into Cambridge's economics program. This is because economists have found that mathematical modelling provides a useful tool in analysing economic issues and behaviours, especially when there are trade-offs involved. Mathematical approaches are used to characterise the behaviours of individuals, firms, and countries. Mathematical techniques are relied upon to analyse data and test hypotheses relating to these behaviours and their outcomes.

Fluency in mathematics can be achieved by doing very well in an A-level course in Mathematics or its equivalent (such as Higher Level Mathematics in the International Baccalaureate). If as an applicant doing A-levels you can take Further Mathematics as well, we encourage you to do.

Entry requirements are likely to be minimum A*A*A at A-level (including Mathematics), or comparable grades in other qualifications. Although there are exceptions, for students who take A-levels Homerton typically asks for A* in Mathematics (though usually not in Further Mathematics).

Admission Assessment : All applicants for Economics are required to take the Test of Mathematics for University Admissions (TMUA). More details on the TMUA can be found here .

Written work : There are no written work requirements for Economics at Homerton.

After graduating, many students start working in the private sector, the public sector or in international organisations. Some choose to continue studying Economics for a MA/MPhil or PhD degree.

MPhil in Land Economy by Thesis

To undertake an extensive piece of original research in just one year can be a particularly challenging option and the Department will not admit students to it unless it can be satisfied that they have the necessary research skills, together with a clear vision of their topic and a good grasp of the appropriate methodology to explore it. The 'by thesis' option is unusual for a research degree in specifying a submission deadline and in not allowing for resubmission should the necessary standard fail to be achieved in the examination. Candidates are therefore encouraged to start their research as early as possible.

Applicants are requested to enclose with their application an outline of their proposed research, setting out their objectives and proposed methodology. Before offering a place for the 'by thesis' option, the Department will need to be satisfied that the proposal is one that can be undertaken satisfactorily by the candidate and that it can provide an appropriate supervisor. In some cases, it may suggest that the candidate consider opting instead for the instructional degree course (MPhil in Land Economy Research) in order to build up broader research skills.

Approval of title

Each student's subject of research is approved provisionally by the Degree Committee when the student is accepted. It can be revised subsequently, but has to be finally approved by the Degree Committee in the Lent Term (normally in February). The Degree Committee will also then appoint examiners and approve the submission date for the thesis, which is normally the end of August.  It is customary to appoint one internal examiner (who will not be the supervisor, and will not normally have had any direct involvement with the research), and one external examiner who is a recognised expert in the field of the research.

Once in the Department, all students on this course play a full part in the graduate programme. They are in any event required to attend and participate in either or both of the quantitative and mixed research methods courses. They are also encouraged to participate in any of the other relevant  taught MPhil modules  and the Department’s Research Management Programme.

Their vital link, however is with their Supervisor. The Supervisor assumes professional responsibility for guiding the student's research.

Course Teaching and Examination

The word limit for the MPhil in Land Economy thesis is between 28,000 and 30,000 words. The regulations do not allow for the word limit to be increased or exceeded.

Examiners are required to satisfy themselves that:

  • the thesis is clearly written;
  • it takes account of previously published work on the subject; and
  • it represents a contribution to learning.

A candidate may be required to make minor amendments and corrections to the thesis as a condition for approval for the degree.  However, there is no provision for allowing a candidate to submit a revised thesis in the event that the examiners are not satisfied that it has reached the required standard.

The University's regulations require that an oral examination be held in all cases. Its purpose is to ensure that the work is truly that of the candidate, and to pursue and test arguments which the examiners have found to be unclear or of particular interest. The date and venue of the oral examination is chosen by the examiners. Since the thesis need not be submitted until the end of August, the earliest examination date is normally towards the end of September. Candidates must ensure that they will be available at this time to attend the oral examination. They will be informed of the arrangements by the Graduate Secretary.

Every effort is made to ensure that the results of the examination can be notified to candidates by the Board of Graduate Studies early in October.

Information for candidates

Both core and optional MPhil modules are reviewed on an annual basis. This review may lead to either a change to the core and/or optional modules offered on a particular MPhil course. Modules may be rescinded permanently or withdrawn on a temporary basis at any time.

Any information provided on Land Economy modules offered and their content is therefore subject to change and provided as guidance only to assist applicants with their choice of course. Reading lists are also provided for information purposes only and do not constitute a final or definitive list.

Boyce Family Scholarship

The Boyce Family Scholarship covers the fees for one full-time, one-year MPhil student. It is open exclusively to students who are normally resident in North America (including the Caribbean) and South America. Preference will be given to the following:

  • Students from backgrounds underrepresented at postgraduate level in their field of study, in the first instance, to women and students from racially minoritized backgrounds.
  • Who are pursuing an MPhil in Land Economy, or another course in the social sciences with a focus on the built environment, sustainability, and/or conservation.

Course Information

Course length  -   12 months full-time or 24 months part-time

Course components

This course comprises of a 28,000 - 30,000 word thesis which must:

  • be clearly written;
  • take account of previously published work on the subject; and
  • represent a contribution to learning.

This will be followed by an oral examination (viva)

Who should consider this course?

If you already have sound research skills from a prior degree and/or other relevant experience, and you want to undertake a purely research degree then consider this course.

Economics at Cambridge

Economics at Cambridge gives you an understanding of core, pure and applied economics.

Study a range of different topics, including supply and demand, the role of prices and markets, employment, inflation, the operation of financial institutions and monetary policy.  

Our course provides a sound understanding of core, pure and applied economics.

You study economics in considerable depth, while also using ideas and techniques from many other disciplines including:

  • mathematics

Facilities and resources

Past and present Faculty members, such as Alfred Marshall and John Maynard Keynes, have played a major role in the subject’s development.

Several members of our Faculty have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics, including Sir John Hicks, James Meade, Sir Richard Stone, Sir James Mirrlees and Amartya Sen.

We are committed to using economics to improve public policy. Recent staff have been active on the Monetary Policy Committee of the Bank of England the Competition Commission.

They also advise international agencies such as the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund and Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development.

Our Faculty of Economics facilities include:

  • access to an extensive range of statistical databases and software
  • the Marshall Library of Economics, which holds a comprehensive collection of books, journals and other papers in economics
  • the student-run Marshall Society, which organises social events and informal lectures from distinguished visiting speakers

You'll also have access to the impressive Cambridge University Library, one of the world’s oldest university libraries.

Course costs

When you go to university, you’ll need to consider two main costs – your tuition fees and your living costs (sometimes referred to as maintenance costs).

Your living costs will include costs related to your studies that are not covered by your tuition fees. There are some general study costs that will apply for all students – you can find details of these costs here .

Other additional course costs for Economics are detailed below. If you have any queries about resources/materials, please contact the Faculty.

  • University approved scientific calculator: CASIO FX570, CASIO FX115 or CASIO FX991. Estimated cost £20.

Your future career

As an Economics graduate, you will communicate well. You will have the skills to understand complex arguments and analyse practical issues and data.

These skills are valuable in many careers, particularly professional, financial and managerial occupations. They also provide a helpful foundation for many Masters’ degree courses.

Many graduates go on to professional training in:

  • chartered accountancy
  • actuarial work and similar fields

Other graduates go on to work as professional economists in:

  • financial institutions
  • government and management consultancy

Teaching is provided through lectures, practical classes and small-group supervisions.

In your first year you can usually expect 10 to 15 lectures each week.

You’ll be assessed through formal written examinations at the end of each year and the compulsory dissertation in the third year.

Typically, you have one 3-hour exam for each paper covered that year.

In your first year:

  • British Economic History paper is assessed through an exam paper and a project.

In your second year:

  • Econometrics paper is assessed through a project
  • History and Philosophy of Economics paper is assessed through essay work

You won't usually be able to resit any of your exams.

You also take two optional papers and write a compulsory dissertation of 7,500 words.

Optional papers can vary from year to year. Recent examples include:

  • Economic Theory and Analysis
  • Political Economics
  • Banking and Finance
  • Public Economics
  • The Economics of Developing Countries
  • Theory and Practice of Econometrics II
  • Global Capitalism
  • British and European Politics
  • History and Philosophy of Economics, also available as an optional paper in the second year

For further information about this course and the papers you can take see the Faculty of Economics website .

Changing course

It’s really important to think carefully about which course you want to study before you apply. 

In rare cases, it may be possible to change course once you’ve joined the University. You will usually have to get agreement from your College and the relevant departments. It’s not guaranteed that your course change will be approved.

You might also have to:

  • take part in an interview
  • complete an admissions test
  • produce some written work
  • achieve a particular grade in your current studies
  • do some catch-up work
  • start your new course from the beginning 

For more information visit the Faculty website .

You can also apply to change to:

  • Management Studies at the Judge Business School

You can't apply to this course until you're at Cambridge. You would usually apply when you have completed 1 year or more of your original Cambridge course.

You should contact your College’s Admissions Office if you’re thinking of changing your course. They will be able to give you advice and explain how changing courses works.

Minimum offer level

A level: A*A*A IB: 41-42 points, with 776 at Higher Level Other qualifications : Check which other qualifications we accept

Subject requirements

To apply to any of our Colleges for Economics, you will need A levels/IB Higher Levels (or the equivalent) in: 

  • Mathematics 

If you’re studying IB, we ask for Analysis and Approaches for this course. If this isn’t an option at your school, please contact the College you wish to apply to for advice. 

If you're studying A Levels, the following Colleges also require Further Mathematics: 

  • Christ’s College
  • Churchill College
  • St John's College
  • Magdalene College 

Colleges will usually require you to achieve an A*/7 in Mathematics and/or Further Mathematics.

If you are applying to Trinity Hall, you will also need an A level/IB Higher Level in an essay-based subject.

Further Mathematics A level 

A level Further Mathematics is very strongly encouraged. If unavailable or you’ve recognised its desirability too late, we’d advise you to do as much additional maths as possible, eg by studying advanced material or Further Mathematics AS level.

What Economics students have studied

Most Economics students (who had studied A levels and started at Cambridge in 2017-19) achieved at least A*A*A* (87% of entrants).

Most had studied:

  • Economics (93%)
  • Further Mathematics (93%)
  • or both (86%)

The majority of students who studied IB achieved at least 44 points overall.

Check our advice on choosing your high school subjects . You should also check if there are any required subjects for your course when you apply.

Admissions test

All applicants for Economics are required to take the Test of Mathematics for University Admission (TMUA) at an authorised assessment centre. You must register in advance for this test.

Please see the admissions test page for more information.

You won't usually be asked to submit examples of written work. You may be asked to do some reading prior to your interview, but if this is required the College will provide full details in your interview invitation.

Offers above the minimum requirement

The minimum offer level and subject requirements outline the minimum you'll usually need to achieve to get an offer from Cambridge.

In some cases, you'll get a higher or more challenging offer. Colleges set higher offer requirements for a range of reasons. If you'd like to find out more about why we do this,  check the information about offers above the minimum requirement  on the entry requirements page.

Some Colleges usually make offers above the minimum offer level. Find out more on our qualifications page .

All undergraduate admissions decisions are the responsibility of the Cambridge Colleges. Please contact the relevant  College admissions office  if you have any queries.

Discover Uni data

Contextual information.

Discover Uni allows you to compare information about individual courses at different higher education institutions.  This can be a useful method of considering your options and what course may suit you best.

However, please note that superficially similar courses often have very different structures and objectives, and that the teaching, support and learning environment that best suits you can only be determined by identifying your own interests, needs, expectations and goals, and comparing them with detailed institution- and course-specific information.

We recommend that you look thoroughly at the course and University information contained on these webpages and consider coming to visit us on an Open Day , rather than relying solely on statistical comparison.

You may find the following notes helpful when considering information presented by Discover Uni.

  • Discover Uni relies on superficially similar courses being coded in the same way. Whilst this works on one level, it may lead to some anomalies. For example, Music courses and Music Technology courses can have exactly the same code despite being very different programmes with quite distinct educational and career outcomes. Any course which combines several disciplines (as many courses at Cambridge do) tends to be compared nationally with courses in just one of those disciplines, and in such cases the Discover Uni comparison may not be an accurate or fair reflection of the reality of either. For example, you may find that when considering a degree which embraces a range of disciplines such as biology, physics, chemistry and geology (for instance, Natural Sciences at Cambridge), the comparison provided is with courses at other institutions that primarily focus on just one (or a smaller combination) of those subjects.You may therefore find that not all elements of the Cambridge degree are represented in the Discover Uni data.
  • Some contextual data linked from other surveys, such as the National Student Survey (NSS) or the Destination of Leavers in Higher Education (DLHE), may not be available or may be aggregated across several courses or several years due to small sample sizes.  When using the data to inform your course choice, it is important to ensure you understand how it has been processed prior to its presentation. Discover Uni offers some explanatory information about how the contextual data is collated, and how it may be used, which you can view here: https://discoveruni.gov.uk/about-our-data/ .
  • Discover Uni draws on national data to provide average salaries and employment/continuation data.  Whilst starting salaries can be a useful measure, they do not give any sense of career trajectory or take account of the voluntary/low paid work that many graduates undertake initially in order to gain valuable experience necessary/advantageous for later career progression. Discover Uni is currently piloting use of the Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) data to demonstrate possible career progression; it is important to note that this is experimental and its use may be modified as it embeds.

The above list is not exhaustive and there may be other important factors that are relevant to the choices that you are making, but we hope that this will be a useful starting point to help you delve deeper than the face value of the Discover Uni data.

Finance and Economics is no longer accepting new applications.

The MPhil in Finance and Economics is a one-year master's degree that runs from early September to late July. It is an intensive course combining advanced study and research, tailored for people with one year or less of work experience who intend to go on to work for the industry. It places particular emphasis on economic coverage of financial themes, beginning from the institutional background, moving on to careful consideration of how observed institutions should be modelled, and ending by relating existing models to data and discussing how these models should be improved when they do not fit the data.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of the MPhil degree students should have:

acquired advanced technical training in microeconomics  and econometrics;

acquired a solid grounding in the principles and practice of financial markets and developed an understanding of the tools necessary to make good financial decisions.

begun to acquire independent research skills and experience of putting them into practice;

acquired experience and guidance in formulating a realistic research topic and prepared written work to a strict timetable; and

acquired sufficient knowledge and understanding of advanced economics to proceed to a career as a professional economist in industry or to a research degree.

The MPhil in Finance & Economics is designed for students who wish to obtain a one-year master’s qualification before leaving academic economics, and is not primarily designed for students who wish to continue to the PhD programme.

The Postgraduate Virtual Open Day usually takes place at the end of October. It’s a great opportunity to ask questions to admissions staff and academics, explore the Colleges virtually, and to find out more about courses, the application process and funding opportunities. Visit the  Postgraduate Open Day  page for more details.

See further the  Postgraduate Admissions Events  pages for other events relating to Postgraduate study, including study fairs, visits and international events.

Referencing style

The Faculty of Economics recommends the Cite them right Harvard (author-date) referencing style. You could use any referencing system as long as you are consistent but this style is explained here. More details and guidance can be found in your handbook.To find out more about the University of Cambridge's view on plagiarism and good academic practice, as well as further advice on how and when to reference, visit these guidance pages.   https://www.plagiarism.admin.cam.ac.uk/

Specific advice for Economics students

  • Harvard Referencing
  • General Guidelines (Cite Right Webpage)

Introduction

This guide outlines how to reference using the ‘Harvard’ or Author-Date method according to Pears, R. & Shields, G. (2016) Cite them right: the essential referencing guide. 10 th edn. Basingstoke: Palgrave. This is not the only standard of referencing but is commonly used in the Social Sciences. Using this method usually means that citations in the text should give the author’s name with the year of publication. All references should be listed in alphabetical order at the end of your paper or dissertation. Bibliographical references should contain sufficient information so that someone else can trace the item when following up your work. It is very important to be consistent and accurate when citing references. Good referencing is also important for good academic practice and the avoidance of plagiarism.

Harvard method of citation in the text

Statements, opinions, conclusions etc. taken from another writer’s work should be acknowledged. It does not matter if the work is directly quoted, paraphrased or summarised. Here are examples of how cited publications are referred to in the text:

Single author

Varian (2014) suggests the first thing we should do is consider the budget constraint …

When an author has published more than one cited document in the same year these are distinguished by adding lower case letters after the year with brackets

Goyal (2014a) finds that incorporating information about co-author networks leads to a modest improvement in the accuracy of forecasts on individual outputs

Two authors

In the book by Kavanagh and Morris (1994) the role of trade unions is discussed…

More than two authors

Begg et al (2014) conclude that…

If more than one citation is referred to within a sentence, list them all in the following form by date and then alphabetically:

In the Marxist school of economics it is argued that ‘production is the basis of social order’ … (Marx, 1847; Engels, 1880; Kautsky, 1899; Luxembourg, 1913)

Harvard method of quoting in the text

When quoting directly in the text use quotation marks, as well as acknowledging the author’s name, year of publication and page number of the quotation in brackets. Short quotations of up to 2 lines can be included in the body of the text:

Chang states, “Capitalism would not have developed the way it has without the development of the financial system.” (2014, p.310)

Longer quotations should be indented in a separate paragraph:

Shaw et al. (1997) discuss the theory of the Phillips curve:

“The existence of a Phillips-type relation appeared to offer policy makers a straight choice between inflation and unemployment. One could trade off more of one for less of the other. Furthermore, once the curve was identified the rate of unemployment which was consistent with zero inflation could also be identified. Although a good deal of empirical support was identified for the Phillips relation in the mid-1960s, after 1968 the relation was seen to consistently under predict the rate of inflation.” (p.231)

If part of the quotation is omitted then this can be indicated using three dots:

Varian states that “the Internal Revenue Service distinguishes two kinds of asset returns for purposes of taxation. The first kind is the dividend of interest on return…the second kind of returns are called capital gains.” (2014, p.24)

Secondary referencing

Secondary referencing is when one author refers to the work of another author and the primary source is not available. You should cite the primary source and the source that you have read e.g. Laffan (1992 cited in Geddes, 2013, p.42)

Secondary referencing should be avoided if at all possible.

Harvard method of listing references at the end of the text

References should be listed in alphabetical order by author’s name and then by date (earliest first) and then if more than one item has been published in a particular year list by letter (2010a, 2010b etc.). Whenever possible details should be taken from the title page of a publication and not from the front cover, which may be different. Each reference should include the elements and punctuation given in the examples on the right. Authors’ forenames can be included if given on the title page. The title of the publication should be given in italics.
