What you will study
All our economics students follow the same first year in order to build a solid foundation on which to specialise. This means you can choose to transfer to the BSc Business Economics and Data Analytics, or Economics and Finance from your second year, or continue with the Economics BSc.
All our programmes include two compulsory Employability modules where you will obtain advice and feedback on CV and cover letter-writing, and how to prepare for an interview. You will also be encouraged to think about what kind of career you wish to pursue and how to start working towards your future goals.
The first-year modules are designed to provide you with a broad range of basic tools, skills and knowledge that you will develop in the course of your programme. You will study introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics as well as the mathematics essential for an economist to know. First year modules also comprise introductory statistics and data analysis.
In the second year, you will start to specialise according to your own interests. You will continue to study microeconomics and macroeconomics, now at a more advanced level. The skills that you acquire, and in combination with the econometrics modules, will allow you to observe and analyse the real world through the lenses of economic theory as well as set up and run a data analysis and interpret the results; something that is part of many economists’ daily jobs.
In your final year, you can choose six optional modules in addition to two compulsory ones. We offer a long list of specialised modules, some of which are more technical than others, all taught by lecturers conducting research in various fields in economics. While deepening your knowledge of economic theory, you will learn how it can be applied in various settings (e.g. labour markets, development economics) to formulate policy recommendations. You may also want to improve, expand and reinforce your research and writing skills by selecting the Economics Project (a 5,000-word research project) as one of your optional modules.

Which economics undergraduate degree is right for me?
We offer six pathways to study economics. Let us take you through the differences between all of our courses so you know what makes each of them special.
Foundation year
If you don’t meet our entry requirements, you might still be able to apply for this degree with a Business and Economics Foundation Year. This is an extra year of study to develop your skills and make it easier for you to get started at university. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree.
