Course summary

What will I learn?

Our Economics IFP is designed to provide you with the knowledge and skills to be able to progress on to a range of Economics-related degree courses at university. You will be presented with a range of economic models and theories designed to understand key economic issues and problems including the choices made by economic agents faced with scarce resources under conditions of uncertainty. You will develop an understanding of producer and consumer theory and how this can inform the study of the wider economy. In addition you will develop your skills in presenting and applying economic models and develop your ability to reflect on the importance of model assumptions and the nature of their applications.

How will I learn?

You will be taught through a combination of lectures and seminars which is the same type of teaching you can expect at undergraduate level in the UK. Lectures are where all students on a module are together (this can be up to 100 students on the IFP) and the academic tutor introduces the topic of study. Seminars are much smaller groups (typically no more than 15 students) where you have the opportunity to explore a subject in more detail with your academic tutor and classmates. In your seminars you will be expected to engage in discussions and debates around the subject matter.

How will I be assessed?

Across your modules you will be assessed through a range of methods including presentations tests essays and examinations.
