The Introductory Maths and Statistics course is designed to ensure that your knowledge and skills in this area are at the standard required for you to succeed on the rest of the MSc course. It consists of both lectures and small group learning which go through exercise sheets and problems. You can get a feel for what level is required for our MSc courses and test your current knowledge with our maths quiz.

There will be two tests during the course. The first will be in Week 2 of the pre-sessional course and and second will take place in Week 1 of Autumn Term.

Your course tests will contribute towards your mark for the Quantitative Methods: Econometrics module, with a weighting of 10% for students taking MSc Economics and MSc Economics and International Financial Economics, and 20% for MSc Behavioural and Economic Science (Economics Track). You are not required to pass the Introductory Maths and Statistics course to be awarded a pass mark for the Quantitative Methods: Econometrics module, but we recommend reviewing the course materials again during the Autumn Term if you don’t perform well.
