About this course
Our typical offer is 260 UCAS points, but applications from those without formal qualifications are welcomed – and we allow entry to the second or final year on the strength of appropriate prior study and qualifications.
For those whose qualifications and experience do not allow direct entry, we offer a foundation year (at our Scarborough Campus) which enables progression to the first year of any of the Business School’s degree courses (and some courses in other departments).

Course programme
BSc (Econ) Economics
Mode: full-time
Economics offers so much more than simply the study of an academic discipline. Economics offers insight into issues ranging from the level of house prices, through how the government sets taxes, to Third World debt problems - so the study of economics is of interest to anyone who cares about such questions.

Employment prospects
Some of our graduates start work as economists (recent appointments have included jobs with the Treasury and the Bank of England); a larger number go on to jobs where economics is valuable, such as those on the financial side of industry, or in the City, with firms such as J P Morgan or N M Rothschild; and the remainder go on to jobs open to any graduate, where an economics degree is valued as a general signal of your ability. Some go on to Masters courses in economics or other subjects at a variety of highly regarded universities.
All degrees may be taken over three years, or as four-year programmes with the third year spent studying overseas (International) or in a relevant work environment (with Professional Experience).
Economics may also be taken as a Joint Honours degree combined with Accounting, Business, Business, Economics, Financial Management, Logistics, Management or Marketing.
