Erfahrungsberichte:
This MSc is perfect for anyone who is interested in learning how we move beyond mainstream theory. You gain a thorough understanding of mainstream models, and methodologies, while are also building an introductory knowledge to alternative perspectives, in particular Post-Keynesian and Marxist theory. The quality of the teaching is excellent and staff are friendly and approachable. Being the first year of the masters, it definitely feels like being the start of something new, alternative and exciting.
