Gain advanced knowledge and analytical skills in both microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, preparing you to tackle complex economic challenges.

During the microeconomics component of this module, you will explore game theory and its economic applications, examining strategic interactions, rational decision-making and competitive behaviour among consumers, firms and governments. You will also critically evaluate the role of experimental and behavioural approaches in refining traditional game-theoretic models.

During the macroeconomics component of this module, you should gain an in-depth investigation of modern macroeconomic approaches, grounded in microfoundations and dynamic general equilibrium models. Develop a critical understanding of contemporary macroeconomic theories and their policy implications, particularly in areas such as monetary and fiscal policy, economic fluctuations and long-term growth.

By integrating theoretical insights with real-world applications, this module aims to enhance your quantitative reasoning, problem-solving and policy evaluation skills, preparing you for roles in economic research, policy analysis and financial decision-making.
