Overview

The Graduate Diploma in Economics is a one-year, full-time credential offered by Memorial University's Department of Economics for students seeking additional academic standing at the graduate level without committing to a full master's programme. It allows students to build on undergraduate training in economics and can support professional development within a career, without the research thesis required of the department's master's degree. The diploma is delivered on the St. John's campus in Newfoundland and Labrador, with a single intake each fall; application deadlines are January 15 for international applicants and February 1 for Canadian applicants. Admission requires a bachelor's degree in economics or a closely related field, and international applicants are encouraged to submit Graduate Record Examination scores alongside their application materials.
