Do economics students have many presentations?
Economics students may have presentations, but the amount varies by university, degree and module. Assessment can also include problem sets, essays, coursework, exams, data analysis and class participation. Presentations may be individual or group-based, particularly in applied, policy or seminar-style modules.
Key points

- Some modules may require presenting research or project findings, while others may have no formal presentation.
- Check the assessment methods in the course and module descriptions for a specific programme.
Things to check
