What students like about the course
“The fact that a seemingly dull subject can be presented in a fresh and interesting way”
“Relaxed course. No need to study or read material”
“I found it very helpful in learning how the volatile economic situation we are living through is influenced by the various conditions here and in other countries”
“All members of the group felt free to make contributions to the discussion”
"The opportunity to socialise, to speak and be with other people of similar experiences"
"I enjoy most the discussion of current affairs and linking that in with the course theory - so in other words linking the practical to the theory."
"The informality - easy to and fro with questions and comments"
"Tutor kept the class on track.  Personal opinions were kept to a minimum and politics kept at bay."
