Modules

Your first year aims to provide you with a solid grounding in introductory economic theory, mathematics and statistics, with emphasis on the relevance of such methods to the study of economic questions of cultural, political and social importance.

Advancing your knowledge of micro and macroeconomics, your second year core modules also cover econometrics. You will focus on econometric theory, establishing a thorough knowledge of the matrix algebra of the multivariate linear regression model and the statistical properties of time series data, models and forecasts.

The core aspects of your final year provide a detailed treatment of the models and techniques used in the analysis of time series and cross section data.

You will also have the opportunity to select additional modules from a wide range of specialist options.

Contextual admissions

Universities and colleges consider more than grades when assessing applications and may make offers based on a range of criteria. Learn more about contextual offers.

We consider applicants solely on the basis of their merits, abilities and potential – we use exam grades to prioritise applicants but look at a range of factors and aim to give everyone an equal opportunity to show their achievements.

We understand that background and personal circumstances can have an impact on academic performance at school or college. Applicants who are eligible under our contextual admissions policies may be considered for a reduced contextual offer.
