Course summary

Political choices fundamentally determine the economies within which we live and work yet often economic reality seems to shape the limits of political possibility. Our BSc Politics and Economics course focuses on how economic structures shape politics locally, nationally and internationally. Our course will introduce you to the most important economic policy questions in the UK, around Europe, and the world, and explore how those who make decisions impact on others. Along the way you’ll be able to address important social questions behind the biggest debates in contemporary politics and economics. Our award-winning Professional Training placements prepare students for roles in industry.Our BSc Politics and Economics course will provide you with an in-depth understanding of core political and economic concepts, theories and methodologies. You’ll then be able to specialise in a wide variety of areas, from political economy and financial markets through to international organisations and international trade. Your time will be split equally between modules in politics and economics. This will allow you to draw links between the two both in the theoretical and applied fields of study. You’ll be provided with the knowledge necessary to tackle some of the most pressing questions that confront us today, from the role of markets in civic life to the existence of rationality in decision making.
