A: no. rather the opposition. what I mean is, if not for academics / really want to work in NI, do ...
A: In my opinion, the major difference between these two programs is their focus. Simply, Msc Econ is more suitable for students who would like to attain a master degree and then go to work. For example, about 80% of the courses in Msc Eco are conducted as seminars, according to the website of Tilburg. On the contrary, most courses in Msc Econ & Econometrics are math-intensive, such as Dynamic Models and their applications, Panel Data Analysis of Microeconomic Decisions etc. Because of the rigorous training in quatitative methods in Msc Econ & Econometrics, it is obvious that these students are more qualified than those in Msc Econ to be an PhD candidate. I think maybe that is why there are cases that students could go from EME to Mphil year 2, but not for Msc Econ.
