Postgraduate summer session in microeconomics and quantitative methods

You may possess a relevant professional qualification, a degree in another social science, or a science or engineering degree with a high quantitative and analytical content.

If you satisfactorily complete the coursework both distance learning and residential examinations throughout the course, you will be given a certificate of attendance.

If you have a conditional offer for our MSc programme, subject to completing the pre-sessional course, you will then be able to register for the MSc.

The pre-sessional course course consists of lectures and tutorials in Micro-Economics (50 per cent), Mathematics (20 per cent), Statistics (20 per cent), and Macro-Economics (10 per cent).

The course material is of a standard equivalent to the second year of the honours degree in economics taught by the Economics Department. The course is intensive; in addition to the four teaching sessions per day, students are expected to work through exercises and problem sheets.

The pre-sessional course is also available as a free-standing course of instruction for any graduate interested in acquiring greater knowledge of economics and quantitative techniques. The cost of the pre-sessional course is £1,260, not including accommodation costs.
