Course summary

A unique programme which combines a rigorous economics curriculum with a year of study at a university overseas. Our highly regarded department offers a stimulating learning environment in central London, close to one of the world's largest financial centres.

Degree benefits

  • You’ll learn from innovative educators, including creators of the CORE curriculum which provides the foundation for your first year, and from our Centre for Teaching and Learning Economics (CTaLE), who are at the forefront of ground-breaking teaching. You will also gain transferable skills such as adaptability, flexibility and sensitivity to cultural differences.

  • Our professors are distinguished economists leading research centres, on Public Policy and Data Analysis Methods; Research Fellows at the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and many advising governments and agencies, such as the Competition and Markets Authority, The Bank of England, and The World Bank.

Your learning

The cornerstone of each module is a lecture series. Through demonstration classes and small-group work you will learn how to put economic models together, how to undertake quantitative analysis, and, potentially, formulate your own model to address a new problem. In the later parts of the programme, there is an increased emphasis on collaborative work and group presentations.

Assessment

Your progress is monitored throughout the year on a module-by-module basis, which will provide feedback aimed at improving your understanding and technique. You will be assessed by year-end written examinations and other forms of term-time assessment including, for example, multiple-choice quizzes, in-course essays and research project work.

Careers

Many useful skills can be gained through the study of economics, for example: finding solutions to real-world problems, mathematical skills and an enhanced understanding of contemporary political and economic events.

About one-third of our graduates move directly into graduate study, including MScs in Economics, MBA programmes and conversion courses in computing and law. Students have also proceeded to doctoral programmes including those in major US economics departments such as Columbia, Yale and Chicago.

Graduates entering employment predominantly move into management, banking and finance and the civil service.
