Dr Suzanne Lampert

Assistant Professor

I am an Assistant Professor in Economics. I am on a Teaching and Scholarship pathway; and my research is centred on pedagogy.  

My teaching is focused on introductory level economics. I teach a range of students, including first year undergraduates, postgraduates and graduate apprentices. I also lead the economics courses on the MBA programme. My general approach to teaching is to emphasise how economic theory can be applied to real world examples.

I am currently working towards Fellowship of the Higher Education Authority, and I completed the Aurora (Women in Leadership) Programme in April 2023. I am the Year 3 Coordinator for EBS Graduate Apprenticeship Programmes. I also am a member of working groups looking into programme development.
