Course overview
You will study and learn within the Department of Economics and will also study bespoke modules taught by Warwick Business School, focused on the interaction between economics and its applications within business and industry. The degree focuses on research-led teaching and so we will expose you to research from the very start, encouraging you to consider and develop your own research questions.
In your first and third years you will be able to choose from many optional modules both within and outside of the Economics Department, helping you to pin down your own areas of academic interest.
In your final year, you will be able to follow your curiosity further by completing a Research in Applied Economics project on a topic of particular interest.
Important information
We are planning to make changes to our Economics and Industrial Organisation (BSc) degree for 2023 entry. Changes to core modules go through the University's rigorous academic processes. As module changes are confirmed, we will update the course information on this webpage. It is therefore very important that you check this webpage for the latest information before you apply and prior to accepting an offer. Sign up to receive updates.
Study abroad
We currently offer an exciting range of opportunities for you to spend a year abroadLink opens in a new window. You can study in a higher education institution either in Europe, at the University of Monash in Australia, or with our partners in Asia. Studying overseas can add immeasurably to your personal development, future study and career opportunities.
It will also offer you an opportunity to experience an alternative university system. If youre successful in gaining a Study Abroad placement, your degree programme will become a four year programme and, assuming you pass sufficient modules whilst abroad, the title of your course changes to add the suffix 'with Study Abroad' to the existing title (e.g. 'BSc Economics with Study Abroad').
Please note that ERASMUS funding will finish in May 2023. Students outside of Europe may apply for funding through the Turing Scheme.
