UCL MSc Urban Economic Development

Hello :smile: I’m a final year economics student at trinity college Dublin and I’m predicted a 1.1. I’ve found a real love for urban, regional, and development economics so decided to apply for UED. Does anyone have any experience in this course? The classes suit me perfectly but I’m worried that I may be narrowing the possibility of maybe pursuing a PhD in the future. This would likely be in economic geography or political economy.

TIA!!!!!

Same course, UED. Also have BSc in econ. Quite worry since i applied near the deadline and my gradr just slightly above the requirement, and i think my personal statement is not outstanding (in terms of the writing style). Just confident with my relevany and extensive professional expereince
