Once you have signed up, you will receive email confirmation of your place on the course and some online resources.
The University of Warwick will send you an email each week with the relevant YouTube links for both the lecture and the Q&A. You will be asked to email your questions to us either before or during the lecture. Professor Muthoo will aim cover as many these raised through the questions as possible during the Q&A.
There is no mandatory pre-reading requirement for the course but we will encourage you to browse through some of the resources we send, and perhaps read a few of the short, non-technical articles to get a flavour of some of the issues before the course.
All of the readings will be helpful after the course to help develop a deeper understanding of the topics.
