Profile
Are you an analytical person with a passion to tackle pressing socioeconomic challenges such as poverty, unemployment, financial instability, gender and racial inequality and the effects of climate change? As a BSc Economics student, you will learn to take a scientific evidence-based approach to understand, critique and create policies to combat economic and social problems.
Employers in all sectors from government to financial services have a growing need for economists who can analyse and interpret data. This requires a strong grounding in analytical and quantitative methods beyond the economics core.
Why choose this degree?
- From day one, you will have an academic advisor to guide you throughout your studies to help reach your potential.
- From the very first year you learn how to do independent research, not just consume knowledge created by others. You will be able to take modules from a variety of disciplines such as sociology, Geography, Law and Statistics.
- You will have the guidance of our postgraduate alumni mentors who hold influential positions outside of academia.
- In the third year, you will be given guidance for your BSc thesis, jointly with the MSc students, on research and presentation skills.
