Course summary

Economic theory is highly relevant and applicable in today’s rapidly changing world. From the impact of immigration, to the organization of healthcare systems, economics touches on all areas of modern life.

This economics degree provides a thorough understanding of economic theory, with a focus on the practical link between theory and real-world application. You’ll learn the mathematics and statistics that underpin economics, and develop quantitative and analytical skills to evaluate wider social and political issues.

At the end of your first year you will be able to choose between two pathways, Economics or Economics and Econometrics, where the latter focuses on the more quantitative aspects of economics.

  • Acquire analytical, problem solving and critical thinking skills, alongside a deep understanding of economic theory and ideas

  • Choose a pathway between Economics and Economics and Econometrics

  • Stand out from the crowd with a professional placement year – past students have undertaken placements with organisations like the Department for Work and Pensions, GlaxoSmithKline, RBS and HM Treasury

  • Study abroad with an optional exchange in Europe, America or further afield

  • Enjoy professional and social opportunities through the student-led Economics Society

  • Follow in the footsteps of recent graduates who now work for major global corporations.
