Learning and Assessment

Most teaching is lecture or group-based for modules, while individual supervisors provide specialist guidance during dissertation writing (starting in Semester 2). Hence, as the program progresses, the main learning method gradually becomes more individualized and student-centered.

कार्यक्रम की शुरुआत एक गहन परिचय सप्ताह से होती है, जिसमें आपके सीखने और व्यक्तिगत विकास नियोजन कौशल को विकसित किया जाता है और आईटी और पुस्तकालय संसाधनों से परिचय कराया जाता है। यदि आपको आवश्यकता हो तो आपके लिए अतिरिक्त समूह और व्यक्तिगत सहायता प्रदान की जाती है। आपको अपने शोध प्रबंध को लिखने की तैयारी के हिस्से के रूप में अकादमिक लेखन, शोध और विश्लेषणात्मक कौशल से परिचित कराया जाता है।

To ensure the systematic development of knowledge of key subjects, modules are assessed by a variety of assessments in addition to essays and formal examinations. Group work, where the assessment may be based on a report or a presentation, provides you with both teamwork experience and practice in different ways of expressing arguments and information. Some modules may also use problem-solving exercises or ask you to develop a portfolio of your work. Please see the appendix for further details.

Career Support

The University is committed to helping students develop and enhance employability and this is an integral part of many programs. Specialist support is available throughout the course from Career and Employability Services including help to find part-time work while studying, placements, vacation work, and graduate vacancies.

Discussing options with specialist advisers helps to clarify plans through exploring options and refining skills of job-hunting. In most of our programs, there is direct input by Career Development Advisers into the curriculum or through specially arranged workshops.

Career Prospects

On completion of this qualification, you may go on to work in an economics or finance policy capacity in government, the private sector, in development agencies (e.g. regional or national development banks), or the third sector in a capacity relating to economics and finance (e.g. microfinance or enterprise support and development).
