BSc (Hons) Economics with Placement Year

The 2008 financial crisis had a seismic effect not just on the global economy but also on the study of economics. Our Economics BSc(Hons) degree takes a contemporary, applied approach, combining both traditional and post-2008 theory to analyse real-world issues.

You'll develop the professional skills that employers are looking for; high-level analytical and quantitative skills to analyse, solve and advise private and public sector organisations on complex economic problems.

Along with core modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics and quantitative methods, you have the opportunity to choose from a wide selection of option modules and explore specific branches of economic study, including behavioural economics, game theory, globalisation and applied econometrics.

You can also choose to complement your economics degree by taking modules in complementary subject areas such as finance, business management, digital marketing and law.
