Programmes Introduction
The Centre runs a series of programmes in economics and related fields aimed at sixth-form and college students, undergraduates, recent graduates, PhD students, post docs and young academics. We have a youtube channel with videos designed to promote a wider understanding of classical liberal economics. In association with the Institute of Economic Affairs, we publish the journal, Economic Affairs. We also have a visiting scholars scheme and an MA programme in Political Economy by Research as well as a number of research programmes such as the Low Cost Private Schools Research and Training Initiative and the Initiative for African Trade and Prosperity.
