Course summary

What you will study: All our economics students follow the same first year in order to build a solid foundation on which to specialise. This means you can choose to transfer to Economics or Economics and Finance from your second year, or continue with the Business Economics and Data Analytics BSc. All our programmes include two compulsory employability modules where you will obtain advice and feedback on CV and cover letter-writing, and how to prepare for an interview. You will also be encouraged to think about what kind of career you wish to pursue and how to start working towards your future goals. The first-year modules are designed to provide you with a broad range of basic tools, skills and knowledge that you will develop in the course of your programme. You will study introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics as well as the mathematics essential for an economist to know. First year modules also comprise introductory statistics and data analysis. In the second year, the programme becomes more specialised. You will learn how businesses operate and interact as well as their role within the economy. You will learn to use business analytics tools to process and analyse large datasets which can be used to support strategic business decisions. You will deepen your knowledge of microeconomics and macroeconomics and study econometrics at an intermediate level to firm up your knowledge of theory and quantitative skills. In your final year, you will choose four optional modules in addition to four compulsory ones. We offer a long list of specialised modules, some of which are more technical than others, all taught by lecturers conducting research in various fields in economics. You will be able to complement your business-related modules with learning about different specialised fields of economics relevant to the business sector (e. g. behavioural economics) or other areas of economics that may be of interest to you (e. g. corruption, family economics). Professional recognitionBSc (Hons) - Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) for the purpose of exemption from some professional examinations through the Accredited degree accelerated route. Which economics undergraduate degree is right for me?We offer six pathways to study economics. Let us take you through the differences between all of our courses so you know what makes each of them special. Foundation yearIf you don’t meet our entry requirements, you might still be able to apply for this degree with a Business and Economics Foundation Year. This is an extra year of study to develop your skills and make it easier for you to get started at university. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree.
