The course offers students who have not gained a first or second degree in economics to form a programme which builds on what they have already achieved. The wide range of possible combinations include economics and management, economics and sociology, economics and quantitative methods.

The teaching methods are designed to train people who can explain and communicate their analyses to a wide range of audiences. Various components such as seminars, group work, a final dissertation and oral presentations will enable students to acquire skills in writing and expression required to practise economics at a professional level.
