Profile
Politics and economics are at the heart of society and affect everyone. You’ll gain an in-depth understanding and interest in both fields. You’ll graduate with transferable skills in analysis, critical thinking and independent research. This will put you in a position to pursue a career in government, finance and business or advocacy organisations.
On this BSc Politics and Economics degree you’ll gain a specialist knowledge of:
- microeconomics (the behaviour of individuals and businesses)
- macroeconomics (the behaviour of the economy as a whole)
- political concepts such as democracy and international relations
You’ll also have the freedom to shape your studies by choosing optional modules to suit your interests or career plans. Examples include Chinese politics, ethics, criminology and industrial economics.
You’ll take part in lectures and small classes. You’ll be able to use the behavioural economics laboratory and the Bloomberg suite, which is a realistic trading-room environment with access to the most detailed financial data available.
As part of this course you can also:
- take part in a 2-week economics summer school at Xiamen University, China
- spend a semester abroad in your third year
