Course Details – Assessment Method
Teaching methods include lectures and seminars, supplemented by occasional practical computer labs in applied Econometrics courses. Lectures are an effective way of conveying information and explaining ideas. They also explore the relevant issues in greater depth to reflect and further the development of students’ knowledge and understanding.
Seminars are small-group sessions that are used for all taught modules. Students are pre-assigned a set of problems to complete before the class. During the class session the class tutor and students will go through the problems together.
In the Research Project module, students are supervised by a member of academic staff with expertise in the area it concerns. In preparing the project, students have the opportunity to meet with the supervisor to explore the issues it concerns, to receive guidance on your research and reading, and to receive feedback on the work as it progresses.
In addition, independent study forms an essential part in the development of knowledge and understanding. Finally, students are encouraged to attend consultation sessions with academic staff during office hours.
We provide a range of formative and summative assessment exercises which are designed to enable the student to demonstrate and apply their knowledge and understanding. Methods of assessment include:
Written examinations
Mid-term tests
Essays
Exercises and problem sets
Team projects
Final part interim report and project
Library skills exercise such as plagiarism knowledge test.

Additional Fee Information
The tuition fee for UK undergraduates is controlled by Government regulations, and for those starting a degree in the academic year 2021/22, is £9,250 for that year. The fee for UK undergraduates starting in 2022/23 has not yet been confirmed.
The UK Government has confirmed that EU nationals are no longer eligible to pay the same fees as UK students, nor be eligible for funding from the Student Loans Company (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/student-loans-company). This means you will be classified as an international student. At Royal Holloway, we wish to support those students affected by this change in status through this transition. For eligible EU students starting their course with us in September 2022, we will award a fee reduction scholarship equivalent to 60% of the difference between the UK and international fee for your course. This will apply for the duration of your course.
Fees for international students may increase year-on-year in line with the rate of inflation. The policy at Royal Holloway is that any increases in fees will not exceed 5% for continuing students. For further information see fees and funding (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/fees-and-funding/) and our terms and conditions (https://www.royalholloway.ac.uk/studying-here/applying/admissions-policy-and-procedures/).
