What Do Our Alumni Say?
My tutor in Economics is professional and patient, and his explanations made a lot of sense to me. For example, when we were talking about Nash Equilibrium, we played a lot of games because this theory is basically based on game theory.
My understanding went deeper as we played the games by ourselves because I was making the decision on my own, then I could think about the shortages of my strategy. Then we analyzed the game together and made assumptions, which improved my skills of thinking the overall effects instead of only focusing on individuals’ decisions.

Module 1 - Introduction To Economics
ou are taught how multiple regressions allows researchers to control variables that would otherwise confound one’s results, and the most commonly used tools to test hypotheses and estimate causal effects. The session also gives you a chance to learn from methods such as natural experiments, regression discontinuities, and instrumental variables.
Module 2 - Development Economics

Explore answers to this question by focusing on the role of poverty traps, education and nutrition. You’ll understand how economic interventions can help to alleviate poverty, with an emphasis on microfinance and cash transfers.
Module 3 - Auction Theory
Auctions can be viewed as a game in which players choose how much to bid without knowing the bids of their opponents. As a result, you’ll be asked to extensively analyse auctions using game theory. In this tutorial, you will use these tools to study a variety of auction formats: first and second-price auctions and all-pay auctions. Derive the game-theoretic predictions of how people should bid and test this by conduction auctions in the classroom.
Module 4 - Project Presentation
You’ll finish with an exciting one day mini-conference! By working independently over the two weeks, you will spend the last day discussing your relevant findings on your assigned Capstone Project, as well as presenting this to your peers and tutor. The course finishes with a workshop and review session to discuss applying for economics business and management degrees and subsequent career options.
