Economics in action
Take your career to the next level with a Postgraduate Certificate in Professional Economics (PGCertPE). Develop an economic toolbox that you can use to address real-world problems. This programme will equip you with decision-making skills that are based on a solid understanding of economic principles.
Depending on the courses you study, you'll have the opportunity to examine the intricacies of microeconomic and macroeconomic analysis, study market structures, or look at the implications of government interventions in the economy. You'll explore different economic theories in relation to growth, development, and stability. And you'll see how policy influences economic decisions.
What you'll study
The PGCertPE is all about the principles, practice, and application of economics to policy and business issues in a professional context. This programme is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed in the world of professional economics.
You'll study four courses for this certificate.
How you'll learn
You'll learn through a block format for some courses, and in weekly lectures for the others. The block courses are held close together to give you the flexibility to continue working while you study.
You have to attend all sessions, which can fall on weekdays, weekends, and occasionally on public holidays. Each block course is different and may be delivered as a set of four or five one-day sessions or as two two-and-a-half-day sessions. You'll need to do your reading, assignments, and tutorials between the sessions in your own time.
Study while you work
Each course requires about 10–12 hours of study per week. Many students' demanding professional lives mean they choose to study part-time and only take one or two courses at a time.
For the PGCertPE, your minimum completion time is one trimester and your maximum is two years.
