Economics BSc (Hons)

This course will help you develop your knowledge of economic principles and learn to apply them to real situations and challenges. We will discuss how the economy is affected by issues related to crime, fiscal policy, political issues, and international constraints. You will also investigate how economic metrics can be used to measure and enhance collective happiness in society.

We have close links with businesses across the region, and you will regularly hear from high-profile guest speakers. This includes representatives from the Bank of England and well-known private organizations. These connections also provide opportunities for networking, internships, and work experience placements.

We ensure that your learning is always practical and relevant by embedding Guest speakers, live projects, and experiments at every level of study. While you study with us, we will fund your membership of the Royal Economic Society. This will enhance your professional profile in the industry and open up extra opportunities for training and development, such as competitions, grants, and conferences.

As with all of our Business courses, you can go on a placement year between years 2 and 3 of your degree. You can also study abroad at one of our partner universities.
