Introduction to the Economics Department and your degree which will include information on how Philosophy, Politics and Economics integrate to make for the whole degree. There will be information on modules within the degree and how the choice across the disciplines and modules creates a sound triple foundation but with scope for specialisation. There will also be an opportunity for an initial Q&A.
14.30
Sample teaching session on a topic of interest to scholars of all three disciplines.
Approx 16:00
Final Questions and Answers
After Q&A for the whole session, opportunity for individual questions. Ideally, we think that all questions are of interest to everyone but there are always particular individual queries. Do not set off home with a question unasked.
Unfortunately, due to space constraints, it is very unlikely that we shall be able to accommodate guests in the department sessions.
Guests are encouraged to drop-in to speak to central services during the event at the Palatine Centre and the Information Hub. You are also welcome to see our facilities, such as the Bill Bryson Library and Sports and Wellbeing Park.
You are welcome to join us for the final individual questions part at the end of the session once the full session has been brought to a close – about half an hour prior to the end of the session - to help the applicant you are supporting raise specific individual questions.
If you are looking for somewhere to stop for lunch, the Riverside Bistro in the Waterside Building will be open until 4 pm, or you are welcome to venture into the city centre to explore options there.
