These programmes provide an advanced and up-to-date training in economic theory
and its applications and the specialist area chosen. They also offer a thorough
grounding in research methods and methodology and "hands on" training in modern
econometric analysis. Extensive use will be made of PC-based econometrics
packages such as Microfit, SPSS, Stata and Limdep. Assessment is by a mixture of coursework
and written exams at the end of each module and a supervised research dissertation.
There are preparatory courses in mathematics and statistics at the beginning
of the first term.
A dissertation allows students to exhibit the in-depth knowledge in their
specialised area that they have gained throughout the taught part of the programme
and to demonstrate the abilities of analysis and critical appraisal.
A dissertation supervisor is allocated to provide support throughout the completion
of this module.
The programmes are offered on a part time (24 months) and full time (12 months)
basis, with part time students taking the core modules in their first year.
Our commitment to providing the opportunity for students to study part time
means that teaching is restricted to two days in the week during term: Tuesday and Thursday.
