Introduction
Employment, inflation, house prices, wealth, and poverty affect us all in different and dynamic ways and the key to understanding why often lies in economics.
BSc (Hons) Economics aims to equip students with the tools and frameworks to analyse economic issues, as well as the skills necessary to explore and explain new trends as they emerge in the current dynamic economic environment.
Fundamental to the study of the subject is a commitment to fostering respect for good academic practice and standards. We encourage students to develop the confidence to challenge established wisdom.

Curriculum
How You Study
Teaching in this programme reflects the research expertise of academic staff and enables students to tailor their learning in line with their interests and career aspirations.
The first year of this course introduces students to core micro, macro and international economics. There are modules in econometric analysis that aim to help students develop expertise in the statistical techniques used to analyse and interpret economic data.
Intermediate micro and macroeconomics are studied in the second year and are prerequisites for the advanced modules that are covered in year three.
A range of optional modules is also available in the second and third years.
This course offers the option to take a year-long work placement after the second year of study. This provides the opportunity to gain experience and apply learning in practice. Students are expected to source their own placement, and tutors can provide support during the process if required. Those who choose to undertake a placement do not pay tuition fees for that year but must cover their own travel, accommodation, and living costs.
