Count on us
At LSBU we teach real economics, show you the factors which shape the current economic climate and discuss the theories which can explain recent trends. From questioning fundamental economic concepts by reviewing country or industry case studies to developing economic models to forecast what the future holds, we will make you apply economics from the first day you set foot onto our campus.
This course will take you on an exciting journey of exploring economic ideas, schools of thought and historic events which have lead the world economy to where it is today. From sustainability to cryptocurrencies, the BSc Economics introduces students to the vast range of topics which drive the economy. And then we give you a glimpse of the future, leaving it to up to you to make your own critical judgement of what is yet to come.
Our curriculum is informed by the challenges and tasks professional Economists face in a variety of industries. This allows us to equip you with key graduate skills, turning you into an educated, passionate and competitive graduate who will be successful in any career path you choose.
