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 the BSc in Business Economics and Data Analytics or Economics from your second year or continue with the Economics and Finance 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 of introductory statistics and data analysis modules. In the second year, you will start to specialise in your interests, economics and finance. In addition to studying microeconomic, macroeconomics and econometrics now at an intermediate level, you will complete several finance modules. After laying down the fundamental models and concepts of financial economics, the modules will move onto more specific topics in finance (e. g. financial accounting, quantitative portfolio theory and investment). In your final year, you will continue to study finance-related topics but can also choose six optional modules in addition to two 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 choose to study further finance-related topics (e. g. international finance) or explore other specialised fields in economics (e. g. education, environment) to equip you with invaluable skills for your career.
