In UCL I will take Micro, Macro and Metrics (not metric spaces but econometrics) Game Theory and IO (both of which are of suspicious theoretical content, maybe they will be "applied" versions). NO Micro II, no Game Theory II not No 2 versions of basic courses.
Furthemore I can now honestly say that I dislike London. I feel miserable in London because: 1) my money will never be enough 2) I feel that I'm exploid since I was paying for the same things less both in NY and in Greece (and in other countries that I have traveled to). |
Yeah .. here is the curriculum in UCL, which I do not find so bad as you describe it
:
In the first term (late September to December) all students take a common core of three courses, in Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, and Econometric Theory and Methods.
In the second term (January to March) each student four further courses from a range of options. The options available vary from year to year, depending on staff interests and availability, but normally include Game Theory, Advanced Macroeconomic Theory, Microeconometrics, Time Series Econometrics, Public Microeconomics, Topics in Industrial Organisation, Topics in Labour Economics, Economics of Government and Regulation, Topics in Environmental and Resource Analysis, Topics in Applied Microeconomics. Further details of the topics offered in the current year can be fount in the
current year programme outline .
so, hypothetically speaking, you can take micro, macro, econ in the first semester and then game theory, microeconometrics, IO, advance macro
But, yes, I should admit it: I like more UPF's program, not to mention UoT's prelim math camp
. In any case, wait for their answer regarding tuition and we will debate again
