Course Structure
The one-year program covers a wide range of core modules aimed at equipping students with state-of-the-art applied economics methods.
In their first semester, students will take modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics. In their second semester, students will have the chance to choose various elective modules, drawn from different fields of theoretical and applied economics as well as modules in machine learning and quantitative text analysis.
All modules are taught around weekly lectures and tutorial sessions and assessed with applied continuous assessments (no exams or final dissertations are required). Successful applicants can expect coursework consisting of approximately 6 hours of lecture and 3 hours of tutorials per week. Students are expected to bring their own laptops (Mac/Windows/Linux) for use in lectures and tutorials throughout the course. Tablets are not suitable for this course.
