This programme is designed for economics graduates who would like to develop an understanding of the nature of the differing institutional settings of financial systems in various developed and developing countries. You will develop tools to evaluate the problem of moral hazard in relation to international rescue operations and recognise factors that may lead to the emergence of banking and currency crises and other sources of serious economic instability.

This programme will prepare you for careers in teaching or research in the field of economic development or the areas covered in optional courses, working in economic development as a government official, or in international agencies or in other organisations concerned with economic development.
