This programme combines the areas of economics and finance and is ideal for students who would like to work in politics, policy, economics or finance. The Department of Economics is one of the UK's best, having won 11 National Teaching Awards from the UK Higher Education Academy - more than any other Economics department in the UK.
The four year option offers students the opportunity to undertake a year-long study abroad. This will give students the opportunity to enhance their communication skills, cultural awareness and possibly give them the opportunity of gaining proficiency in foreign language prior to graduation. Students are able to transfer onto a study abroad or placement variant of their undergraduate degree throughout their first year of study.
