The BA Economics (two subject degree) combines economics with another discipline or language and takes 3 or 4 years depending on the subject involved. It provides you with a thorough grounding in economic principles while allowing you to create a specialist niche for yourself by studying another subject.
What subjects can you combine it with?
Other disciplines - African Studies, Development Studies, Geography (taught at King's College London), History, Law, Linguistics, Politics, Social Anthropology, South Asian Studies, South East Asian Studies, Study of Religions.
Languages - Arabic, Burmese, Chinese, Georgian, Hausa, Hebrew, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Nepali, Persian, Swahili, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese.
Some two-subject programmes in Economics and a language (like Japanese, Chinese or Arabic) take four years, and include one or two years of language alone and an extended visit to the country concerned. Others, like Economics and History, Politics or Urdu take only three years.
