Duration

Our degree prepares you to work across all areas of the economy. Specifically, your degree combines the study of economics with a wide variety of applicable business-related theories. Our degree provides both the modes of thought and technical skills that have practical applications in business and society.
As economists work in a number of settings, you will be prepared for a career in government departments, in local government, in firms and organisations, and in the financial services industry (for example forecasting), therefore providing you with a range of options dependent on the graduate role you subsequently seek.
You will be equipped with a firm foundation focused on diverse economic ideas and their relevance to business and financial decision-making. You will also gain quantitative skills, as well as communication and IT skills, and learn about their application in business contexts as an economist, or in a related role which is concerned with the allocation of resources across all sectors of the economy.
