Why did you choose the Scottish Graduate Programme in Economics?
I came to the SGPE having studied Maths as an undergraduate, but Economics has long been one of my interests. After finishing my undergraduate degree, I was keen to study Economics formally, with a view to starting a career in the field. And I’ve always known that Edinburgh is not only a world-class university but also a fantastic place to live and get the full “student experience” – it didn’t disappoint!
What attracted you to this programme in particular?
One particularly appealing aspect was the Summer School programme. This does a very good job of accommodating students from a non-Economics background into the MSc. As one such student, the Summer School was ideal for me because it served as a strong foundation course, allowing those of us from a non-Economics background to get up to speed with the Economics graduates.
