Course summary


OVERVIEW

Businesses and governments rely on economists to help them examine issues, identify trends and deal with uncertainty. Throughout the course, we’ll challenge you to think about choices people make and how those decisions affect every aspect of our lives. You’ll explore everything from employment to distribution of wealth and government spending to international trade. We’ve designed the first year of this course to explore the principles of economics including micro and macro economics, critical thinking and the study of the global business environment.In your second year, you’ll choose between the BA (Hons) and the BSc (Hons) route. This will influence whether you focus on the statistical or policy side of economics. On one hand, the BA (Hons) option examines social and economic issues using a mix of discussion and statistics. On the other, the BSc (Hons) emphasises advanced statistics and forecasting techniques for analysing these challenges.Beyond the core modules, you can tailor your learning to your interests and career goals and you’ll be able to pick from a range of options. In your final year, you’ll put your data handling skills to the test, for your dissertation, on a topic of your choice.This course has a foundation year available.
