What degree programmes and courses does Cambridge's Faculty of Economics offer?

Cambridge's Faculty of Economics is the University of Cambridge's economics department, and its website (econ.cam.ac.uk) is the authoritative source for its degree programmes. Based on the faculty's own news and announcements, its teaching spans at least the undergraduate level and postgraduate master's level, including an MPhil in Economics and Data Science. The page evidence does not list every programme, module, fee, or deadline, so treat the faculty site itself as the place to confirm current programme details, entry requirements, and structure.

Programme levels the faculty indicates

The faculty's news items point to teaching activity at more than one level:

• Undergraduate Economics — a faculty team won a 2026 Eduventures Program Innovation Award for a teaching framework developed in undergraduate Economics, described as "Learning by Doing."
• Postgraduate master's (MPhil) — the faculty references an Economics and Data Science MPhil, including a residential week that brought together industry experts, students, and alumni.
• Doctoral study — a Faculty of Economics PhD student, Lennart Niermann, won the European Central Bank's 2026 Young Economist Prize, confirming PhD-level research students at the faculty.

These are the levels the page evidence supports. It does not enumerate a full catalogue of degrees, so other programmes may exist that are simply not mentioned in these news items.

The Economics and Data Science MPhil as a concrete example

The clearest programme detail in the evidence is the Economics and Data Science MPhil residential week (1 June, 2026). The faculty describes it as gathering students for the programme's residential week and bringing together industry experts, students, and alumni. This tells you the programme:

• is a master's-level (MPhil) degree,
• combines economics with data science, and
• includes a residential component that connects students with industry and alumni.

It does not tell you the modules, duration, fees, or entry requirements — those need to be checked on the faculty site.

Where to find programme details, entry requirements, and structure

The faculty homepage and its news pages confirm programmes exist but are not a prospectus. To get the information you actually need to apply or choose a course, go to the faculty site and look for its admissions and programme pages. Specifically, you should expect to find there:

• the full list of programmes at each level (undergraduate, MPhil, PhD),
• entry requirements (prior degrees, grades, and any quantitative or data-science preparation),
• course structure (core and optional modules, duration, and assessment),
• application deadlines and fees, which the page evidence does not state.

Because the evidence provided does not include fees, deadlines, or module lists, do not assume any specific figures or dates — verify them directly on econ.cam.ac.uk.

How to decide which level fits you

Use the levels above as a starting filter:

If your interest is the economics-and-data-science combination, the MPhil is the programme the faculty explicitly names. If you want research training, the PhD pathway is confirmed by the faculty's doctoral students. For anything beyond these — joint degrees, part-time options, or specific specialisations — check the faculty's own programme pages, since the news items here are not a complete programme list.
