Economics

Our Economics programme for Visiting Students is demanding and will expose students to approaches to the study of Economics that they are unlikely to have encountered before. Most courses are taught through a combination of lectures and tutorials in small groups. Some of the more technical courses are taught through small-group classes instead of tutorials. Students carry out a substantial amount of self-guided study every week to prepare an essay or problem set for each tutorial or class.

Transfer of Credit

It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that credit may be transferred to their home institution. We can provide course synopses on request to facilitate this. We cannot, however, make changes to course content.

Course selection

Please read the Economics course information sheet  and the course pre-requisites information carefully before choosing your tutorial topics.  These contains essential information about course prerequisites and the course structure.  We cannot guarantee that all courses will be available in any one year.  If any of your chosen courses is not available, the Director of Visiting Students will discuss a suitable alternative with you.

Instead of submitting written work, all visiting student applicants for Economics must complete and submit the Economics Diagnostic Test. Please carefully follow the instructions on the first page about which questions to attempt, which will depend on the courses you have already completed.
