Our Curriculum is Changing, Let's Discuss

Our curriculum is changing and we need to have a say! The Faculty of Economics is reviewing the current Tripos curriculum, motivated in part by international student discontent and the ensuing debate in media and academic circles about the need for reforming the teaching of economics. The Faculty has proposed changes to both structure and content of the course, to come into effect in 2015-16, the details of which are being finalised as we speak.

The Cambridge Society of Economic Pluralism (CSEP) invites you to an evening of discussion where we explore the potential of the proposed changes as well as our own ideas of Tripos reform. Students’ opinions matter and ideas and proposals resulting from this discussion will serve as reference in future meetings with the Faculty. Do come along, have a glass of wine and have your opinion heard. This is about our three years here at Cambridge!

And, for a bit of context on what CSEP and our international friends have been doing so far with respect to curriculum reform:
