4. 11. 2. 7. 5. 8. 1. 3. GREAT MINDS Universities are more than teaching organisations: many of the real battles against disease, poverty and climate change are taking place right now in university laboratories and seminar rooms. Studying in a research-led environment means that you benefit from the knowledge, experience, and enthusiasm of internationally renowned scholars who teach on Master’s programmes and supervise doctoral students. Some of our world-class academics include: 6. 9. 10. 10. 1. Professor David Blackaby Economics Accomplished labour economist, working on econometric (multivariate) models to test economic theory and evaluate policy.
