Course summary

Experience enriching and exciting intellectual challenges from two schools with strong reputations for teaching and research. Study these complementary social sciences and develop a deep understanding of global markets and political systems.Economics study is based on a series of mandatory units in your first and second years, covering micro- and macro-economics, mathematics, statistics and econometrics.This lays the foundation for you to specialise in the areas of economics that most interest you in your final year. Popular unit topics include Development Economics, Behavioural Economics, History of Economic Thought, and International Economics.You will also study the politics of individual countries and governments and the relationships between countries, communities and individuals. Politics is organised around three themes: political theory, comparative and national politics, and international relations. In addition to compulsory units, which will give you a solid grounding in politics, you will have access to a range of units that are closely linked to staff research interests and therefore unique to Bristol.Politics units may include subjects such as international relations, political economy, UK politics, US politics, gender, security and conflict. There is a strong emphasis on research skills, with the possibility of completing a dissertation in your final year.We offer you the opportunity to extend your degree to four years, spending your third year studying economics in English at a university in Europe or further afield before returning to Bristol for your final year.This course combines the challenging, broad academic content of our degree with an overseas dimension that gives you a true awareness of a different culture and reflects the international nature of the economy.To find out more about studying abroad, visit the Centre for Study Abroad: bristol.ac.uk/centre-for-study-abroad.
