This module will examine the developments in the underlying foundations of modern macroeconomics from Keynes to the present day, through an analysis of specific macroeconomic models and policy issues.

This module aims to introduce rigorous economic and mathematical methods for studying how microeconomic tools are used in the design of public policies. It covers a selection of modern microeconomic methodologies and applications.

The aim is to extend students' microeconomic grasp beyond that covered in Part B in ways which complement other final year modules and equip students with a solid foundation for understanding recent developments in microeconomic theory.

At the end of the module, students should have gained an insight into how information, motivation, behaviour and market structure combine to generate many economic outcomes.

The aims of this module are to introduce students to more advanced complex variable methods and demonstrate how these can be applied to sum series, evaluate integrals and define special functions.

The aims of this module are to introduce the students to the basic notions and methods of classical analytical dynamics.

The aim of this module is to investigate physical phenomena that involve vibrations and waves using appropriate mathematical tools.

The aim of this module is for the student to appreciate how and why central banks use monetary policy, with a view to understanding noteworthy recent and historical policy developments in the UK, the US, Japan, and the Euro area.

Part of the module is geared towards understanding how central banks react to financial crises, with special emphasis placed on the recent global financial crisis, as well as important historical events such as the great depression. The module aims to make students appreciate how the central bank is at the heart of a country's financial and economic system.

The aim of the module is to develop economic skills to analyse strategic interaction among firms in imperfectly competitive markets or regulated industries.

This is a 10 credit module from the University-wide language programme.
