Welcome from Dr Francesco Giovannoni

I would like to introduce myself, my name is Francesco Giovannoni and I am the Programme Director for the MRes in Economics programme. I am delighted that you have been made an offer of postgraduate study at the University of Bristol this year!

I have overall responsibility for your programme’s content and delivery – whilst you are a student here, I will be able to help and advise you on the academic side of your studies.

I have a PhD from the Graduate Business School at Stanford University and my research interests are in Economic Theory and Political Economy.

As part of our degree, we ask our students to take part in a pre-sessional Mathematics and Statistics short course. This will be an intensive course and will take place over a couple of weeks. It covers most of the mathematical tools needed for your degree. The course is not formally part of your degree and will not count towards your final mark, but attendance is compulsory. We will contact you in due course with additional information.

Registration

Students joining us from the pre-sessional english language programme will need to attend registration on 21st September. All non pre-sessional students should register on 24th September 2018. At registration you will receive your first week’s timetable – make sure you are available as you can expect a variety of activities to take place.
