Example modules

Macroeconomics 1

To introduce the student to the fundamental determinants of national income, employment, the price level and the foreign balance in the short and
long run within a framework of active learning of economic theory and modelling. By the end of the module, the student will be expected to have acquired familiarity with a range of macroeconomic issues in breadth and in depth.

The Industrial Revolution

The module aims to help students to evaluate the significance of the economic changes that occurred in Britain between the mid–eighteenth century and the mid–nineteenth century. Britain’s experience during these years has subsequently been labelled the “Industrial Revolution”, and has usually been seen as providing a model for other countries to follow. But how dramatic were these changes? Was there a revolutionary transformation or a more evolutionary process of economic development? How unique was the British experience? How did it happen? Are there lessons for developing countries today?

The department has a well-established tradition of receiving visiting students who wish to study Economics. Economic modules usually run for a full
year but it is possible to sit on some modules on a one or two term only basis.

Availability for Exchange students for Autumn and Autumn & Spring terms depends upon individual study modules
