Economics and Management

Economics and Management at New College

Economics and Management is a rigorous academic degree, developing high-level quantitative and qualitative skills in a vocationally–relevant subject area. Students benefit from the excellent facilities of the Saïd Business School, the location for much of the teaching and many other activities.

New College offers just three places in Economics and Management per year, so each student gets individual attention. At the same time, Economics and Management students are closely integrated with students on the College's Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) and Engineering, Economics and Management (EEM) degrees, and they participate fully in the College community.

New College has two fellows in Management, Professors Mari Sako and Richard Whittington (see 'Academic Staff'). Richard Whittington has primary responsibility for the Economics and Management degree. Economics is taught primarily by the PPE tutors, Professor Dieter Helm, Dr Ian Crawford and Dr Richard Mash, and students studying Economics and Management work alongside those reading PPE for their Economics papers attending the same lectures and tutorials.

Because of the limited number of places, New College does not consider applications for deferred entry – i.e. entry for academic years later than the one immediately following the year of application.
