The programme is designed to provide students with an intellectually rigorous and up-to-date education in the disciplines of Politics and Economics. The course takes a multidisciplinary approach for those wishing to draw the connections between political and economic phenomena. On the Politics side, students will acquire the ability to analyse and understand political problems, socio-cultural change and political institutions and structures. On the Economics side, students will develop a range of tools needed to solve a variety of complex economic problems. Students will participate in lectures, tutorials, seminars, group and individual project work. Traditional teaching is supported by a virtual learning environment that is used to host a range of electronic supporting materials. The course deals with many topical issues, and as a result the programme will try to incorporate current media coverage and public debates into class discussions and to link these to academic research and commentary wherever possible.
