BA Economics provides a strong foundation for careers that require analytical thinking, data interpretation, and a deep understanding of economic principles, with a versatile skillset, opening doors to a wide range of career paths across various sectors.
Graduates will be well-equipped for diverse careers across finance, government, consulting, business, research, and non-profit sectors. Roles range from analysing economic trends as an economist or financial analyst, to shaping policy as a policy analyst, providing expert advice as a consultant, or interpreting data as a data analyst.
Students can access our central Careers and Employability service, as well as a dedicated team based in the Management School. There is a range of activity throughout the year, to help develop employability skills, support with finding internships, placements or roles after graduation.
