Second Year Options Meeting BSc Economics. Craig Webb BSc Economics Programme Director

Today’s agenda Important Exam Info Progression to the second year. 2nd year course unit selection.

Examinations. Exam Period: 16th May – 6th June 2018. Check your exam timetable. Resit period: 20th August - 31st August 2018.

Preparing for Examinations. Revision: Do you know how to revise? My approach: Ask “what would it mean to have finished revising?” From there, do backwards induction. Exam technique: turning what you know into marks! My advice: treat revision technique and exam technique as skills distinct from your academic knowledge. Master them.

Mitigating Circumstances Bad things happen in life (unavoidable and unexpected with significant impact on your ability to study or perform in an exam). Inform undergrad office (Alex) as soon as possible. Talk with your academic advisor. Complete form and provide appropriate evidence. Do not wait until after the exams.

Progression to 2nd year Pass (≥40%) all compulsory and core units: ECON10171/72 Microeconomics Analysis 1 & 2. ECON10181/82 Macroeconomic Analysis 1 & 2. ECON10071 Advanced Mathematics. ECON10072 Advanced Statistics. ECON10011 Studying Economics. ECON10162 Applied Economics. ECON10192 Introduction to Mathematical Econ. No mark below 30% in remaining 30 credits.

Progression to 2nd year Resits: At 1st exam sits you need to pass (≥40%) at least 40 credits. You will normally be granted resits (referrals) for up to 80 credits. After resits, a maximum of 30 credits of fails (only for non-compulsory / non-core) but all ≥ 30%. Extra small print if you are struggling to meet the above. Read the UG Degree Regulations.

(Requires permission). Language, only if they are a continuation course unit.

Year 2 Options: University College. University College for Interdisciplinary Learning http://www.college.manchester.ac.uk/aboutucil/ Examples are: UCOL21402 Innovation for a Sustainable Society. UCOL24002 The Art of Enterprise. MLP: The Manchester Leadership Programme (Sem1/2) (10/20)

Course Unit Option Research Check course unit outlines See options booklet for ways to get there or

Additional Thoughts. How to choose? Choosing what you find interesting? Choosing what you think you will do well in? Choosing units to enhance your CV? Assessment style: Play to your strengths? Address weaknesses? Look at the year 3 options. Some have pre-requisites. Note that some units may have significant overlap (e.g. Managerial / Bus Econ and Microeconomics).

Student Talk Come and meet current 2nd and 3rd year students. Talk to them about the 2nd year options. They are likely to tell you that Year 2 is a significant step up in intensity!

Final Advice. Consider the balance across semesters. >70 credits in a semester not allowed. Get it right: confirm pre-req’s, permissions, etc. (lecture clashes?). Do it early: The student system opens in July (date emailed). Popular options can fill up; register quickly. See the handbook on “Preparing for success.”
