We have amended the teaching, course overview and your career sections to include important updates.

Previous content:

Teaching

You will have a combination of lectures, and small group support and feedback classes.

Throughout the degree, you will have many opportunities to apply the principles of economics to practical study. This means that what you are learning is highly relevant to real-world issues. This is something we also emphasise through our 360 guest lecture series. This gives you the chance to engage with policymakers, practitioners and influential decision makers.

---

Class sizes

Your lecture size will naturally vary, especially for the optional modules, but also for core lectures.

Some of the larger modules may have 200-500 students in them. You will then typically have weekly or fortnightly support and feedback classes with around 15-20 students.

---

Typical contact hours

You will receive approximately 3 hours of contact time per day, making 15 hours on average per week.
