Intermediate Microeconomics: Microeconomics of the Firm (ECON0015)

Aims: To provide students with a thorough understanding of core concepts and methods of microeconomics, as a foundation for subsequent study of microeconomic topics within the degree programme, and as one of the key elements in the professional training of an economist.

Suitable for: BASc students - Science Pathway (Y000 & Y001). Affiliate students may take ECON0015 with the permission of the Affiliate Student Tutor but are advised to check with their home university that the single term option will fulfill the right requirement in their home degree program. The affiliate assessment will be different to the standard assessment and consists of a two hour online examination.

Prerequisites: ECON0002 or introductory microeconomics at an equivalent level, ECON0010 or introductory calculus at an equivalent level.

Assumed knowledge: We expect students to have some familiarity with the main concepts of microeconomic theory as follows: consumer theory, utility maximisation, demand for goods, labour supply, savings, risk; producer theory, input demands, cost, profit; supply and demand, economic equilibrium, competition, monopoly, oligopoly; welfare, Pareto efficiency, conflicts of interests, inequality; game theory.
We also expect students to be competent in calculus of one and many variables including differentiation, integration and constrained optimisation, to be comfortable with linear algebra including use of vector and matrix notation, and to have come across concepts of homogeneity and convexity.

Interpersonal Psychotherapy for Adolescents (PSYC0127)

The teaching days will provide a comprehensive introduction to the knowledge competencies of IPT-A for depression in adolescents and an introduction to the skills competencies, which will be developed more fully in practice tutorials. The course aims to enable students to deliver IPT-A competently and creatively and to act as expert resources to young people, their families and to professional colleagues, thus ensuring the development of appropriate care pathways for IPT-A referrals and informed young person choice as part of the CYP IAPT service transformation. The course has an integrated theoretical base, reflecting combined medical and interpersonal models of depression. It will aim to equip trainees to become skilled and creative independent IPT-A practitioners in the context of service transformation.
