Approach to Teaching at Postgraduate Level
At honours and master's level, students will be required
to make presentations in seminars, which may supplement or replace the
traditional lecture. Honours and master's students may also be called
upon to participate in the teaching work of the School, either as teaching
assistants or as junior lecturers. Teaching the foundations of economics
reinforces a grasp of the basics, and is useful practise for future presentations
or lectures. There are also opportunities for master's students to become
involved in the teaching and consulting projects of the academic staff.
Master's students are expected to graduate knowing a considerable amount
of economic theory as well as how to teach, engage in research and tackle
with a consulting project.
