Teaching and assessment

You are taught through a series of lectures that are made available online, as well as through seminars and interactive group work. Lectures introduce key theories, concepts and knowledge which is discussed in seminar groups.

Our computer labs give you practical experience of using software to run regressions to analyse models and policies, and perform statistical tests.

Econometric methods offers you the chance to apply econometric software to empirical research in development economics.

"Practitioner slots" are incorporated into some modules. This involves external experts and academics delivering research seminars and presentations covering specialist areas.

You will be taught by research-active academic staff, graduate teaching assistants and visiting lecturers over two terms from September to June.
