Level 7 (30 credits) International Political Economy – single module
- Part-time study available
Every week there will be a combined lecture and student led seminar which is the genuine style expected from a postgraduate workshop, so be ready to read, and to think.
The workshops will closely follow the arguments from the assigned readings and will introduce and examine the key questions and concepts from the readings. It is highly suggested that students bring the text(s) being discussed to the lecture since we will often do close readings of important passages. Each week, one or two students will be responsible for leading a short seminar which is called the Student Seminar Leadership (SSL) session, and everyone is expected to contribute interesting questions and comments. These activities provide the learning outcomes of reflection and critical thinking, and the transferable skills include these, and public speaking and presentation skills.
