Economics and International Relations with Integrated Foundation Year (January Start) BSc (Econ) (Hons)

BSc Economics and International Relations with Integrated Foundation Year:Trade wars, development, Brexit: it is impossible to separate economics from international relations. Our Economics and International Relations degree explores both topics in equal depth and is especially suited to anyone with an interest in international public policy and international political economy. The BSc in Economics and International Relations with a bespoke integrated foundation year provides a smooth pathway for international and EU students not currently eligible for entry to a three-year programme.The subject content and teaching methodology employed in the foundation year (year zero) builds a skills set and provides a platform for successful participation over the remainder of the programme. During the first two years of the BSc you’ll cover macroeconomics and microeconomics, and learn to apply quantitative techniques. Final-year options apply this core knowledge to more specialised areas such as labour, industrial and health economics, technology and innovation, and business cycles.With a wide choice of politics modules, you can study the specific contexts of the UK, the EU, Africa, the US, South Asia or Southeast Asia – or take a broader view with themes such as globalisation, racism and political violence.
