We will explore the models and empirical studies on economic growth.
As of 2024, roughly 25% of the global population lives in poverty (i.e. on less than $3.65 per day). Why does this persist? Understanding the causes and consequences of economic growth is more complex than it appears.
By the end of this course, you will have a more informed perspective. While some causes are known, many factors remain to be fully understood. Tackling macroeconomic challenges like global poverty through growth-enhancing policies is both intricate and multifaceted.
The course will provide students with a detailed knowledge of the New Keynesian model which provides the foundation for the macroeconomic policy models used in the worlds leading central banks. The course will also equip students with modern econometric techniques with which to investigate macroeconomic data, to assess the adequacy of theoretical models and to pose new questions. The New Keynesian approach will be briefly placed in the wider literature of optimizing rational agent models, with some discussion of the evolution from the Real Business Cycle to models with nominal rigidities. Modern topics are likely to include credit frictions and policy at the zero lower bound. Key skills developed include intertemporal optimisation and Structural VAR analysis.
This course takes you through all the things you need to know in order to use the 2000FX TEM, from the principles of its operation and where different controls are found, to the alignments needed to get good data.
There is a quiz at the end of the course and you will need to pass this test before progressing to hands-on training.
There is an accompanying lecture, held once a term, to give more context and detail.
There is also a booklet describing the different alignments that you should have received in the email notifying you that you are on this course. It can be downloaded from http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/physics/research/condensedmatt/microscopy/em-rtp/training.
The module will serve both as an introduction to contemporary theatre and as a first investigation of the relationship between literary texts and the conditions of performance. Major plays of the period will be studied in their own right but also as examples of trends and developments in the period. Design, theatrical architecture, performance styles, organisations and repertoires will be studied, with special attention to assumptions concerning the social role of the drama. Where possible, texts will be related to specific productions. Writers studied will normally include: John Osborne, Arnold Wesker, Samuel Beckett, Harold Pinter, Edward Bond, Caryl Churchill, Brian Friel.
It wasn't until director Dominic Cooke arrived at Warwick University in 1985 that he began to understand theatre's capacity to be both a political and a moral force. Fittingly enough, it was the Royal Court that seized his attention:
"We did this brilliant course, which was basically all about the Court – about the shift from T. S. Eliot's The Cocktail Party to Look Back in Anger, right through Wesker, Bond, all those writers. Plays that really engaged, which were asking questions."'

This module has been written to be a theoretical core course underpinning the English MA pathway Shakespeare and the British Dramatic Tradition, but all students on the MA are welcome to take it as an option. The aim of this module is to introduce students to drama and performance theory, by giving them the opportunity to explore and discuss some of the methodologies, debates and conceptual approaches to drama and performance, both current and historical. It will encourage students to consider these methodologies when reading primary material, and to this end five key primary texts are allotted for the module which will encourage dialectical consideration of theory and practice. There will normally be a tie-in theatre trip late in the course.
There will be one 2 hour seminar/workshop per week in the Autumn term, and the module will be assessed by a 6,000 word essay (or 8,000 if taken as a 36-CATS course). In 2018-19 the module will be taught on Mondays 5-7 pm.
