Footnotes
A : Statistics students taking EC484 will be required to register in early September in order to attend the econometrics component of the introductory course EC451. Students must pass an exam taken at the end of the introductory course in order to proceed to EC484.
# means there may be prerequisites for this course. Please view the course guide for more information.
The total value of all non-ST courses should not exceed one unit.
The Bologna Process facilitates comparability and compatibility between higher education systems across the European Higher Education Area. Some of the School's taught master's programmes are nine or ten months in duration. If you wish to proceed from these programmes to higher study in EHEA countries other than the UK, you should be aware that their recognition for such purposes is not guaranteed, due to the way in which ECTS credits are calculated.
