BSc Economics is our core degree programme, covering all key areas of the economy. If you think and feel “I want to be an economist”, or “I want to understand how the economy works”, or “I want to improve the way the economy works”, this is the degree for you.
Whether you are interested in business, politics or simply how the world ticks, economics is a wonderful discipline for understanding how individuals make choices, how those choices create markets, and how markets interact to create national and global economies.

Course programme

This four year course provides a wide range of integrated contemporary modules, enabling you to explore the diverse area of economics. You will have a varied choice of modules throughout the degree programme enabling you to direct your own learning.

Year 1

During your first year of study you will engage with key concepts of macroeconomics and microeconomics in the year-long modules ‘Introductory Macroeconomics’ and ‘Introductory Microeconomics’. You will also take modules such as ‘Introductory Mathematics for Economists’ and ‘Introductory Statistics for Economists’, which introduce you to basic economic modelling and statistical techniques.

You will have the opportunity to select modules from the School of Economics, or those offered within Political, Social and International Studies, Philosophy, and Language and Communication Studies.

Year 2

During your second year you will have the opportunity to tailor your degree programme according to your own interests, studying areas which you may find particularly relevant for your future career or further studies.

You will continue to develop your understanding of macro and microeconomics as well as skills in the collection and analysis of data. In ‘Introductory Econometrics’ you will build your statistical skills, which you will apply in the form of a practical project designed to answer a research question in the module ‘Econometrics Research Project’. This module is also designed to enhance the employability of our graduates.

Optional second-year modules cover areas including international trade, the European economy, strategy, behavioural economics, economic thought and mathematical economics.

Year 3

You will spend your third year at one of our partner universities. You will need to pass your year abroad, but it will not count towards your final degree classification. This gives you the advantage of spending a year studying economics and related subjects as offered by your host institution. This is a great way to further enhance your knowledge of economics, explore economic issues of other countries and develop personal skills which are welcomed by employers.

Year 4

In your final year you will have an even broader range of optional modules to choose from, as you will be encouraged to pursue a curriculum of economic disciplines that match your own interests. Your final year provides the opportunity to further your study of macroeconomics, microeconomics and econometrics.

You will also choose further optional modules in economics and finance, which cover areas such as labour, public policy, corporate finance, financial markets, derivatives, risk management, history of economic thought, economics and business of sport, alternative investments, and environmental economics.

You will also have the option to take a dissertation during your final year.
