Economics And Social Policy With Foundation Year (Bsc): 4-Year, Full-Time

The BSc Economics and Social Policy with Foundation Year allows you to study a wide range of economic, social, political and geographical theories while learning how to apply them to contemporary policy issues.

The programme will help you to address important issues such as:

What explains the massive differences in prosperity across the globe, both between countries and between individuals within countries?
How do different economic systems affect these outcomes?
What is the role of government and other power structures in affecting economic and social outcomes?
How do political systems differ across the world?
What role do gender and race play in economic, political and social systems?
The programme provides rigorous training in economics and a broad understanding of social policy and politics. As the programme proceeds, you can choose greater specialisation in economics or other disciplines as you wish.

Upon successful completion of the Foundation Year, you will automatically progress onto our three-year, full-time, evening study BSc Economics and Social Policy or onto one of our other Economics programmes: BSc Economics, BSc Economics and Business, BSc Finance with Accounting or BSc Financial Economics. You need only complete one application and you enrol onto one programme.
