The study unit also aims to familiarize students with the basic microeconomic and macroeconomic tools and theoretical frameworks necessary to apply the theory to real world scenarios.
This study-unit develops the students' understanding of mathematical techniques and methods required for economic application and analysis. More specifically students will learn how to read and understand arguments in textbooks and journal articles that use mathematical techniques in modern economic analysis; grasp the relevance and use of modern mathematical techniques in their applications in theoretical and applied economics; apply standard quantitative techniques to the analysis of economic phenomena and to conduct empirical research; develop models in theoretical or applied work, and; understand the theoretical foundations of quantitative techniques.
This course combines economic theory and practice with modern data science tools by equipping students with essentials of scientific programming using Python, the industry standard for economic quantitative analysis. Designed specifically for economics students with no coding background, the module uses practical economic datasets to bridge the gap between economic theory and data-driven application. Students will master data management, visualization, and scientific computing to prepare for professional analytical roles. Real world economic datasets will be used to enrich the learning experience of this study-unit.
The objective of the study-unit is to develop the ability of students to apply macroeconomic theory and principles to actual real world examples. Over the course of the study-unit students will be presented with advanced macroeconomic theory in order to provide the necessary background to better comprehend the applied economic research which will be discussed throughout the study-unit.
The study-unit focuses on optimal rational behaviour by economic agents, both firms and households. The objective is to make students familiar with the basic static optimisation problems encountered in the microeconomics field. The study-unit deals with such issues as the determination of the optimal consumption bundle and the optimal input mix. Different market structures are also assessed to compare how outcomes vary according to the manner in which economic agents interact.
This unit introduces students to economics where various micro and macro economic topics are analysed.
This study-unit looks at gender and its impact on the labour market. It studies the interaction of employees and employers.
The aim of this study-unit is to introduce students to a rigorous economic analysis of the role labour plays in the economy.
This study-unit is an introductory exploration into the study of economics and problems of social concern from a gendered perspective. It offers students basic concepts in economics but analyses the impact these can have on decisions taken by both women and men.
This study-unit covers the topic of labour economics and discusses various theories that impact labour supply and demand.
This course introduces students to basic economic concepts regarding the behaviour of consumers and firms within different market structures and trade environments. The course also considers issues related to macroeconomic setups and reviews the role of government in markets for goods, services and social support.
