Course programme

Students take 120 credits per year composed of core and optional modules, which allows for students to participate at their own intellectual journey while maintaining a strong grasp of the fundamentals, and ensuring academic coherence.

You will take most of your modules within the Department of Economics, however Open Options from other departments are also available. After the introductory modules in Year 1, you will then advance into more specialised modules in Years 2 and 3 that dive deeper into economic theory, specific regions in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, and specialised fields.

It should be noted that BSc Development Economics is separate from BA Economics and Development Studies. The Development Studies/ Economics combination is a two-subject degree course in which half the courses taken may be outside the Economics department.

No preliminary knowledge of the subject or of any region is required.
