BSc (Hons) Economics

This degree explores how economies function and how resources are allocated across societies, helping you understand the forces that shape markets, organisations and public policy. You will gain a strong foundation in both microeconomics and macroeconomics, and how they apply to real-world issues.

You will develop analytical and quantitative skills through the study of economic models and data, including:

• Analysing decision-making by individuals, businesses and governments
• Understanding economic trends such as growth, inflation and employment
• Applying statistical techniques to model and forecast economic outcomes

These skills are highly valued across a range of sectors, preparing you for careers in finance, government, consultancy and beyond, or progression to further study.
