Economic data plays a vital role in shaping public policy, business strategy, and financial planning. Knowing how to analyse, interpret, and communicate that data is a core skill for economists, analysts, and decision-makers.

This twelve week, Level 9, online micro-credential introduces key tools and concepts in economic data analysis. You will learn to source and work with reliable datasets, apply statistical methods to understand the data, and evaluate results within a real-world economic context.

Ideal for professionals from non-economics backgrounds or those looking to upskill in economics, this module supports progression to further study or roles that rely on economic insight and evidence-based decision-making.

This module is associated with the Postgraduate Diploma in Economics and Public Policy. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
