Postgraduate Certificate. [Framework for Higher Education Qualifications level 7] Economics and Finance for Development 1 year full-time (2 5 years part-time) 7 Date produced: March 2009 Last updated : December 2016 Introduction The MSc in Economics & Finance for Development provides you with a systematic understanding of economic approaches to development and in particular the role of the finance and financial institutions. This is a fascinating time to study such questions and you will engage with critical and current themes in economic and financial development. You will be able to evaluate the merits of the various mechanisms of financing development and to understand the bases for financial policy, and you will develop your skills required for the analysis of development issues using relevant software packages. Additionally you have the opportunity to study a range of options covering project and programme management, public policy, and development policy. On completion of this programme you may go on to work in an economics or finance policy capacity in government, the private sector, in development agencies (e.g. regional or national development banks) or in the third sector in a capacity relating to economics and finance (e.g. Microfinance or enterprise support and development). Many PSID postgraduates show a personal commitment to development and have some work experience in related areas of the public, private and voluntary sectors. You may see the programme as a means to change careers: to acquire the necessary skills, knowledge and qualifications to become a development professional. Other Master students may already have embarked on a career that

2 has some involvement with international development - in finance, say, or human resource management. A high proportion of PSID postgraduate students are from overseas, studying for a higher qualification with the support of their employer. A PSID postgraduate programme provides you with the knowledge and skills required for advancement to more senior, specialist posts. Peace Studies and International Development (PSID) is a multidisciplinary division within the Faculty of Social Sciences. The Division s activities include postgraduate programmes, short training programmes for development professionals, overseasbased consultancy, training and research. Teaching staff have academic backgrounds in branches of economics and other social sciences, and have specialist areas of expertise in topics such as project and programme management, globalisation and trade, community development and organisational change. All PSID programmes have strong vocational and skill-based elements, in line with the University s mission of Making Knowledge Work, and are designed to be relevant to contemporary issues and professions. Programme Aims The programme is intended to: A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A6 A7 A8 Develop your skills to enable you to evaluate theory and policy in relation to economics and finance for development.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies Most teaching is lecture or group-based for modules, while individual supervisors provide specialist guidance during dissertation writing (starting in Semester 2). Hence, as the programmes progresses, the main learning method gradually becomes more individualised and student-centred. The programme starts with an intensive induction week to develop your learning and personal development planning skills and to provide an introduction to IT and library resources. Additional group and one to one support is provided for you if you require it. You are introduced to academic writing, research and analytical skills as part of the preparation for writing your dissertation. To ensure the systematic development of knowledge of key subjects, modules are assessed by a variety of assessments in addition to essays and formal examinations. Group work, where the assessment may be based on a report or a presentation, provides you with both team work experience and practice in different ways of expressing arguments and information. Some modules may also use problem-solving exercises or ask you to develop a portfolio of your work. Please see the appendix for further details. Assessment Regulations This Programme conforms to the standard University Assessment Regulations for Postgraduate Programmes which are available at the following link:

5 Admission Requirements The University welcomes applications from all potential students regardless of their previous academic experience; offers are made following detailed consideration of each individual application. Most important in the decision to offer a place is our assessment of a candidate s potential to benefit from their studies and of their ability to succeed on this particular programme. Entrance requirements for each programme will vary but consideration of your application will be based on a combination of your formal academic qualifications and other relevant experience. A typical application would include an Undergraduate Degree (2.2 honours or above) UK system or comparative result if outside UK. If you have prior certificated learning or professional experience which may be equivalent to parts of this programme, the University has procedures to evaluate this learning in order to provide you with exemptions from specified modules contained within the curriculum. Please talk to us if you do not fit the standard pattern of entry qualifications. We are continually reviewing and developing our practices and policies to make the University more inclusive, but if you are disabled we may need to make some adjustments to make sure that you are not disadvantaged. We would advise you to contact the programme leader before you apply to discuss these. The contents of this programme specification may change, subject to the University's regulations and programme approval, enhancement and review procedures.
