Course Overview
The government economic service has publicly criticised economics training in higher education for not putting enough emphasis on understanding and application. This is the reason that for years they have not been able to fill their vacancies. This plays to the strength of our course, which puts a strong emphasis on critical understanding and application.
Our Economics tutors work with organisations such as the Government Economics Service, the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in Ireland, Roubini Global Economics, The Economist Intelligence Unit and the International Monetary Fund: these links ensure our curriculum is cutting edge and relevant.

Degree:
Year One:
In the first year you will get an introduction into both micro- and macroeconomics, as well as being equipped with the necessary quantitative and academic skills to succeed not only in your studies, but more importantly in your future careers. Furthermore, you will get a wider perspective with an introduction to related subjects, like accounting.

Year Two:
The second year concentrates on the more advanced study of micro- and macroeconomics. This includes game theory (Where you learn how to act strategically, taking possible actions of others into account.). You will also learn how to use statistical analysis and how to research. As with all CSM courses a workplace module is also included in the second year of study to prepare students for their careers after completing their studies.

Year Three:
The third year focuses on applying economics, but also explores further important areas of economics, which are health and monetary economics (why money is important, how a credit crunch happens), as well as public economics, which is all about the economic tools important for governments. The dissertation will be an opportunity to apply your acquired knowledge and skills. This will further prepare you for your future professional or academic career.
