Open evening: TCD/ESRI MSc in Economic Policy

Join us for an open evening in Trinity College Dublin to learn more about the TCD/ESRI joint MSc in Economic Policy.

This MSc Programme is a two-year part-time postgraduate programme designed to equip graduates, who do not necessarily have a background in Economics, with the skills to engage with evidence-based policymaking.

The combination of expertise from TCD’s Economics Department and the policy-focused research at the ESRI provides a unique programme that combines technical and evaluation expertise applied to Irish policy challenges.

This event is an opportunity to learn about the course modules and meet the researchers and academics who will be lecturing on the programme.

Following a networking session, module coordinators will deliver a short presentation of what to expect when studying the MSc. From housing economics to behavioural economics, each lecturer operates at the forefront of their field and will provide you with the necessary skills to engage in evidence-based policymaking.
