Course summary

What makes some countries richer than others? How can we measure inequality or the impact of climate change, and what should we do about it? What impact does war have on the global economy? Are education or healthcare investments like the others? How do you measure the success of a political voting system? BA Economics, Politics and International Relations provides you with the analytical skills and intellectual toolbox to help answer these pressing economics questions and many more. You will learn how to interpret data, understand (and quantify) the decisions made by individuals, organisations, and governments and evaluate public policy both nationally and globally. Course overview The course begins by introducing the foundational principles of economic theory, international relations and politics. This degree connects the analytical skills of economics with insights and ways of thinking from politics and international relations. This is an incredibly flexible course allowing you to weight your studies to any and all of the three main subject areas. Year one will cover the fundamentals of economic theory and practice, Politics in the modern world, and the fundamentals of international relations. Years two and three allow you to choose modules from across economics, politics and international relations. As your degree progresses and you discover more about both the subjects and about yourself, you have the opportunity to flex this course in ways that speak to your changing interests and strengths. This might lead you to choose modules in: Development economics Economic inequality Political ideas International relations, security and sustainability amongst many other specialisations Key facts An incredibly flexible degree course with opportunities to study across the full spectrum of our economics, politics and international relations undergraduate modules. You do not need an A level in Economics or Mathematics to enrol in this course. Throughout your degree, we’ll supply training in CV writing, interview assessment centres and telephone interviews. We are proud of our aspiring economists and aim to nurture the potential in every one of them. This course is also available as a four-year degree with a year in industry. Course outcomes You will graduate with a thorough grounding in economics, and an understanding of how a complex world functions and the dynamics of international relations and policy. Graduates have gone on to work for a wide variety of international Non-governmental organisations, think tanks, consultancies and multinational corporations.
