If you are interested in developing your knowledge of economic analysis and its applications, and would also like the opportunity to focus on development economics, this course is ideal. Optional modules allow you either to gain a broad overview of economic development or to specialise in the financial sector of developing countries; the structure of global governance; and/or in the impact of transnational enterprises.
You will also develop your ability to write as an economist expert in development issues and, in doing so, further deepen you knowledge and understanding of your chosen specialisms.
What will you study?
You will develop your knowledge of development economics by taking specialist option modules related to your specific interests. Some core modules will provide you with an in-depth understanding of macro- and microeconomics and applied econometrics. Others will improve your research and writing skills whilst further developing your specialisms.
Finally, you will work individually with a member of staff to choose a topic for your dissertation, research this topic and write up your conclusions.
