Overview

University College London (UCL) highly regarded department offers a stimulating learning environment in central London, close to one of the world's largest financial centres.

Your learning

The cornerstone of each module is a lecture series.
Through demonstration classes and small-group work you will learn how to put economic models together, how to undertake quantitative analysis, and, potentially, formulate your own model to address a new problem.
In the later parts of the programme, there is an increased emphasis on collaborative work and group presentations.

Assessment

Your progress is monitored throughout the year on a module-by-module basis, which will provide feedback aimed at improving your understanding and technique. You will be assessed by year-end written examinations and other forms of term-time assessment including, for example, multiple-choice quizzes, in-course essays and research project work.
