1: The Department and the University
The Department of Economics was one of the founding departments of the University of Warwick when it was opened in 1965. Since then, we have become one of the largest departments in the discipline and are now widely regarded as one of the top Economics departments, not only in the UK, but in the world too.
We are currently ranked 1st in the Good University Guide 2024 (published by the Times and Sunday Times in September 2024), 2nd in the UK for research excellence (based on the most recent Research Excellence Framework 2021, published in Times Higher Education rankings) and 23rd in the World (The QS World University Subject Rankings 2024).
We have an academic community of around 150 staff, including 37 professors, with approximately 1,700 undergraduate students and 300 postgraduates. The Department is international in terms of both the staff and student body.
We are proud of our teaching record and of the achievements of our students and teaching is at the core of the work we do in the Department. One of our key objectives is to provide a research-informed and research-led teaching environment that equips you with key research skills and understanding and our courses benefit greatly from the input of leading scholars with international reputations who are based in the Department. We actively encourage you to fully engage with the learning process to enhance your educational experiences.
Our location
The administrative home of the Department of Economics is based in the Social Sciences Building. Most University room numbers are in three parts each of which conveys information.
For example, to find S0.88
S = Social Sciences building
0. = the ground floor (0 = ground floor, 1 = first floor etc)
88 = the room number
The interactive campus mapLink opens in a new window is a great way to find your location and help plan your route. It is your responsibility to find the locations of your lectures and classes and to ensure you arrive at them on time.

What we expect from you
In order to meet your full potential, the Department of Economics (which incorporates both the staff and your peers) has certain expectations of you — and in return you should expect us to deliver on key activities.
The University’s Regulation 36 lays down the expectations of students concerning Registration, Attendance and Progress.
We expect you to engage with your studies and actively participate in departmental activities and events. We expect you to attend lectures and module Support and Feedback classes, where attendance is compulsory. Should your attendance fall below required standards we will contact you and take actions where necessary.
Engaging with your study
In Economics, in order to get the most out of your time here, we encourage you to be fully engaged with your course and to try to achieve the highest academic standards of which you are capable.
'Engagement' in this sense means several things, including:
- preparing for lectures and Support and Feedback classes as advised by your teaching staff
- attending and actively participating in all lectures and Support and Feedback classes, as well as benefiting from peer learning opportunities and working as part of a group
- collective learning will help you to improve your skills in a whole range of ways; your analytical skills communication skills and teamwork/collaborative skills
- meeting your monitoring points, as set out in section 2.6Link opens in a new window
- making the most of opportunities to discuss your studies with teaching staff
- meeting your personal tutor
- supporting each other's learning and development through active interactions with your cohort during lectures and classes, acting as a Mentor or a member of the SSLC
- benefiting from research opportunities through URSS, the cross faculty research scheme and competitions such as the Carroll Round
- submitting your assessments on time
- taking your tests and exams
- adhering to University and Departmental regulations and seeking guidance when unclear
- abiding by the Department's and the University's principles of academic integrity
- using your initiative and asking for help when necessary at the earliest opportunity.
We have the strong belief that each student can contribute to the learning progress made by others - this is a further reason for encouraging your attendance, participation and engagement.
Student Visa Holders
The above expectations apply to all students, but for student visa holders, it is important that you engage with your course to meet the conditions of your visa. Please make sure you are aware of your responsibilities whilst studying in the UK; you can refer to the Warwick Immigration website and the monitoring point information in section 2.6Link opens in a new window .
Glossary
In reading this Handbook, you may find the following list of terms helpful.
Advice and Feedback Hours: Every member of academic staff and all tutors have at least two Advice and Feedback hours each week of term. During this time, the member of staff will be available for you to meet them to discuss any aspect of your academic studies, as well as other things, e.g. personal tutoring, references.
Classes: 'Classes,' 'module Support and Feedback classes', 'seminars,' 'tutorials' and 'supervisions' are all different names for essentially the same thing; compulsory teaching in small groups. Classes allow for more informal, less scripted interaction and are a prime opportunity for you to receive support and feedback.
Core Module: A module that students on a programme are required to take. These modules must be passed in the first year in order to progress.
Course: Coherent programme of study leading to a named qualification/award. Includes degrees, diplomas and certificates. Courses are made up of modules.
Module: Smallest unit of learning recognised in the University's approval processes and records systems.
Monitoring Points: The University scheme for monitoring academic engagement and progress of all students during each academic year. Under the University's monitoring scheme, attendance is monitored by means of specific 'monitoring points' using Tabula.
Moodle: it is the University's Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), a web platform designed specifically to support the delivery of teaching and learning materials and activities. All module resources will be posted here.
MS Teams: Software used for virtual meetings.
Optional core module: Students must choose a module from a set list of modules.
Optional module: Students can choose modules to make up the required number of CATS for their year of study and their degree programme.
Pastoral Support Drop-in Sessions: Each week of term time, the Academic and Pastoral Support team hold daily office hours. The times of these will be published on the Department websiteLink opens in a new window.
Programme: Has the same meaning as a course.
Revision Sessions: These are sessions run by the Department of Economics that occur prior to tests in core year 1 and 2 modules, where students can access support from module tutors and gain an understanding of marking criteria for the upcoming tests.
Seminar: A compulsory class in which a topic is discussed by a teacher and small group of students. The same as Support and Feedback class.
Student-Staff Liaison Committee (SSLC): The SSLC is made up of students and staff. SSLCs provide an accessible arena for you to discuss any concerns you have with teaching, learning and student support services with the Department's academic staff. They also provide an opportunity for the Department to receive feedback from you. This is the strongest mechanism for getting involved with how your academic life at Warwick is shaped.
Tabula: An online tool used to enhance and support the administration of teaching and learning. It helps academic and administrative staff manage your information, such as personal profiles, class allocation, personal tutor/supervisor allocations and meetings, attendance recording and marks management.
URSS: Undergraduate Research Support SchemeLink opens in a new window.
What you can expect from us
We want to instil in you the same passion for the study of economics that we have. Therefore, we aim to engage you with all course material and create an enjoyable environment in which to learn and develop. You should be aware of what you can expect from any module and it is the role of the Department to ensure that this information is clearly set out and available.
Below are the key elements that you should expect from every Economics module that you take:
- a module outline, detailing the module aims and objectives, the learning outcomes and an indication of the material that will be covered, the exam rubric, all of which can be found on the module webpage
- details of core texts and further readings to give you the best opportunity to prepare for lectures and Support and Feedback classes
- All modules will have lecture notes and/or other materials posted on the module's Moodle webpage. Links to videos will be accessible via the Moodle webpage for the module.
- Well-prepared lectures which have the aim of engaging you and encouraging participation in discussion beyond the lecture
- Core module lectures are encouraged to be recorded and these will then be made available via the Lecture Capture service (at the discretion of the module leader). Recording lectures is not intended to replace attendance in-person. If attendance at lectures is insufficient then lecture capture will be withdrawn.
If Support and Feedback classes form part of the teaching of the module, the material should be related to the module syllabus and class tutors should be well prepared and confident with the material they are teaching. You will be advised, with as much notice as possible, of any changes or cancellations of lectures and/or Support and Feedback classes.
For any assessments you should expect:
- assessment details to be outlined, including the format of the assignment, assessment rules, the submission dates and the expectations of the module lecturer
- to receive your marked work with feedback and/or annotations within 20 working days of the submission date, unless extenuating circumstances prevent this. If the date for returning work is missed, you will be notified.
While the university environment is — and should be — very different from school/college, you should still expect your lecturers and tutors to have time to discuss any concerns or questions you have about the module material. To this end, you should expect:
- all lecturers to have two Advice and Feedback hours per week in term time, in which they are available to see you to offer advice on all matters relating to the relevant module.
- all tutors to be available for a minimum of two hours per week in term time to meet you to offer advice and feedback.
Details of how to access the Advice and Feedback hours will be available under the relevant staff profile on our people webpage.Link opens in a new window

How to contact academic staff
By email:
All members of the Department have an email account and they will monitor it regularly, though please do note that staff will take academic and study leave and hence during holidays, they will not be responding to emails as regularly. If you have a question for a particular member of staff, an email will normally be the best way to get a quick and straightforward answer or to set up a meeting with the relevant person. You can search for an email address using your Warwick email address book or on our people pages. If your enquiry involves confidential personal information, it is best to email your Personal Tutor or your Year Tutor/ Senior Tutor directly.
Please ensure that your emails are polite and do think about who you send your email to, using the guide above. Please do not send the same email to multiple people as this can cause unnecessary confusion and wastes staff time. You should always use your Warwick email account to avoid your email going into junk or clutter folders and hence not being read.
During Advice and Feedback hours:
All academic staff have Advice and Feedback hours at which they can meet you. Advice and Feedback hours will be posted on staff webpagesLink opens in a new window. You should make every effort to see staff during these times. If you are unable to meet a member of staff during the stated Advice and Feedback hours, you should contact them to arrange an appointment at a different time. Appointments should be made via email.
Telephone contact:
Each member of staff has a telephone number, listed online in the University telephone directory. From a telephone connected to the University switchboard the number has five digits, e.g. the Joint Degree Coordinator Ramkumar Govindaswamy's is 23055. When calling a number from outside the University, all internal extensions starting with 2 or 7 have 024 76 5 in front of them and all extensions starting with 5 have 024 76 1 in front of them (e.g. for Ramkumar Govindaswamy dial 024 7652 3055).
