This BSc course allows you to specialise in methodological modules, learn rigorous quantitative and analytical skills and apply this knowledge to your analysis of economics issues and policy.
You’ll specialise in methodological modules, learn rigorous quantitative and analytical skills and apply this knowledge to analyse economic issues and policy.
Our BSc Economics degree has a particular focus on mathematical and statistical quantitative methods, which are applied to a variety of economics problems
In your first year you will be introduced to foundational economic principles and theories and develop your core quantitative skills in mathematical and statistical methods for economics. You will then build on your toolkit of theoretical and quantitative skills in your second year and select from a set of advanced methodological modules in your final year, with the option of incorporating some applied options available to the BA stream.
You will be able to choose which pathway you specialise in. You'll have the same core and optional modules on the BA Economics and BSc Economics courses in the first and second years, so that you can study modules in both applied and methodological economics.
At the end of your second year you will then decide if you wish to focus on the methodological pathway (BSc Economics), or switch to the applied pathway (BA Economics). This will determine the set of modules you can choose to study from in your final year.
This degree comes with the opportunity to do a year-long, paid work placement, starting after your second year with some of the UK's top employers – these have included the Bank of England, HM Treasury, IBM and PwC.
Whichever path you choose, you’ll graduate equipped with the practical skills you need to forge a career as an economist in the public, private or third sector, or other related professions.
