6 July 1999 University Economics Paper on Offer in Nelson

Lincoln University is offering its first year Regional Education subject Principles of Economics in Nelson at Nayland College meeting room this semester starting on Wednesday 7 July, 7.00-9.00pm for 12 weeks.

"University students from Nelson and other provincial centres have to take accommodation costs into account when they leave home to start university study, but Lincoln University's Regional Education programme offers a cost effective way to begin a university degree programme locally," says Dr Lynette Hardie Wills, Lincoln University's Regional Education Project Manager.

"And such a programme could include the Bachelor of Commerce and Management."

Nelson students currently enrolled for Lincoln University's Regional Education economics paper, ECON 153, starting on 7 July, are still at school studying Bursary Economics, says Lincoln's Nelson Learning Co-ordinator, Nigel Lineham, who is also the economics teacher at Nayland College.

"ECON 153, Principles of Economics offers an excellent build-up for academically able students for the upcoming Bursary and NZEST Economics exams," he says. "The Lincoln exam for this subject is in October, which gives students a month to continue leading up to Bursary."

Anyone wanting more information on the course can contact Dr Lynette Hardie Wills at Lincoln University on 0800 10 70 10.
