BA Politics and Economics

How do political systems influence economic decision-making? Who decides what is fair? What can be done to tackle political and economic inequality?

On our BA Politics and Economics, you’ll answer these questions through the study of global and comparative politics, as well as an introduction to micro and macroeconomics. This will give you an understanding of the choices we make as individuals, as well as the decisions that are made on our behalf by governments. You’ll learn about the complex political and economic processes that impact us on a local, national and global scale.

You can tailor your studies to your career aspirations through optional modules that allow you to specialise in areas such as international trade and global security. You can also enhance your CV by studying abroad in locations like China, Europe and the USA.

You will graduate with all the knowledge, practical skills and confidence you need to stand out to employers as you start your career.
