Profile
Learn how our economic decisions affect others, and how business and financial institutions’ choices can affect our society. This BSc Economics degree gives you an in-depth understanding of economic theory, and the skills you need to work in sectors like finance, commerce and industry.
Your A level results will determine which core or compulsory modules you’ll need to take.
You’ll study economics with experts whose research has influenced international policy, learning in lectures and small classes. Our facilities include the behavioural economics laboratory and the Financial Laboratory (FinLab) – a realistic trading room environment with the most detailed financial data available.
This flexible course has 3 separate pathways you can choose after the first year. These have slightly different module selections. The pathways are:
- Economics – this is the default pathway, which will give you a rounded education in the subject.
- Econometrics – focuses on the quantitative methods in economics, providing the relevant statistical tools you’ll need to analyse economic data and policy.
- Behavioural economics – has an additional focus on explaining and predicting human behaviour, and using these insights to evaluate and design economic policy.
You’ll also have the freedom to shape your studies by choosing optional modules to suit your interests or career plans. You could choose international banking, risk management or public economics, for example.
As part of this course you can also:
- study a minor subject
- take part in a 2-week economics summer school at Xiamen University, China
- spend a semester abroad in your third year
- spend a year in employment
- gain vital work experience on our Student Innovation Projects
