Course summary
You’ll gain a solid grounding in analytical techniques, statistical theory and quantitative methods and apply your learning to complex real-world problems. Throughout, you’ll take an open-minded and scientific approach to problems, using formal modelling of economic relationships and testing hypotheses against data.After a core foundation in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics, you can select from specialist economics courses and external options from outside the department. You’ll learn how to develop and communicate complex arguments effectively – equipping you with invaluable skills for your future career.LSE has one of the largest economics departments in the world and our academics lead global thinking and research in the field. Our department is regularly ranked number one (outside the USA) for published research in economics and econometrics.Accredited by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) for the purpose of exemption from all 4 certificate level CIMA modules through the Accredited degree accelerated route.Graduates from this programme will be exempt from the following certificate level CIMA modules:BA1 Fundamentals of Business EconomicsBA2 Fundamentals of Management AccountingBA3 Fundamentals of Financial AccountingBA4 Fundamentals of Ethics, Corporate Governance and Business LawGraduate destinations:This degree provides an excellent preparation for a range of careers, but we particularly welcome students who want to learn about economics, rather than simply prepare themselves for a prosperous future.Over the past two decades many of our graduates have chosen to pursue careers in the financial sector, which can include positions involving economics research as well as those in banking or hedge funds. Increasingly, many have also preferred to take up positions as economic or management consultants, to join central banks, their home country’s government economic service or international organisations. Some graduates from the programme pursue quite different careers, whether as professional accountants and auditors, engaging in entrepreneurial activity, marketing or law, or in entirely different fields.A significant number choose to go on to graduate study, not just in economics but also in finance, management, development, economic history and other fields. Throughout their time at LSE we work to prepare our students who are aiming in this direction to understand the rewards of engaging in economics research and the benefits of interacting with faculty and visitors who are leading economists.
