Having come to the end of Year 2 and now that I've already completed most of my Level-3000 EC electives, I'm gonna recommend some what I think are the electives worth taking. I'll not disclose the details as to why I think so (you can leave a comment if you want to ask more). Note that if I state certain modules that I had previously declared disinterest in then it must be the case that the succeeding module (i.e. Level-4000 module that requires the Level-3000 module as the prerequisite) might be useful.*
How this works is I'm gonna give a rating (out of 10) for every module that I recommend. Do note that the rating is relative under the list only. It does not mean that certain modules I'm going to rate as low are bad in absolute terms.
1. EC3312 Game Theory and its Applications to Economics (5/10)
2. EC3314 Mathematical Economics (8.5/10)
3. EC3333 Financial Economics I (7/10)
4. EC3342 International Trade (7.5/10)
5. EC3343 International Finance (8/10)
6. EC3361 Labour Economics I (5.5/10)
7. EC3394 Economics and Psychology (6.5/10)
*I have to say this: I think EC4333 Financial Economics II is pretty essential for anyone who's interested or intending to specialize in the field of finance so that is why I gave a relatively high rating to EC3333.
Well, the readers of the blog can just take this as a reference. It isn't necessarily true for everyone but personally, these modules are the better ones out there. I'll add on Level-4000 electives to this post by the end of my third year. But I hope this can provide a guide to the younger peers who might be at a loss as to which modules they should take.
