In the competitive modern workplace, a Masters in Business and Economics, or related fields, is a popular choice for many students seeking to enhance their CV and level of professional understanding. Some students use a business-oriented Masters as an opportunity to take a break from the workplace in a way that still increases their employability, while others use business-related masters to gain an applied qualification, after completing an undergraduate degree in a more theoretical field – such as physics or the social sciences. Those degrees that fall under Business and Economics all relate to different aspects of the market – from the inner workings of private companies, to the top-level models of macroeconomics. Depending upon the degree, you may find greater opportunities in the domain of public policy, but in general, they are a gateway to a managerial career in private sector.
