Economics at Bath Spa University is about becoming the kind of economist you want to be, with space to experiment, debate, and bring your own interests into the classroom. What sets Economics apart is its commitment to creativity, personalisation, and close-knit learning, meaning you will study Economics in a place that values innovation, diverse viewpoints, and the courage to challenge conventional thinking.

BSU values social inclusion, and we pride ourselves on the commitment to empower all students to succeed in higher education, and this is achieved through individualised one-to-one guidance, and continuous feedback throughout your degree.

The structure of our BA Economics degree is intentionally student-centred. You make choices about your research topics, project formats, and areas of special interest. Modules are designed to scaffold together smoothly, giving you a clear and supportive progression from foundational knowledge to more advanced, applied economic thinking.

Our strong emphasis on community, and small group teaching, means you study in an environment where you are known, supported, and encouraged to bring your perspectives into the classroom. Film nights, interactive workshops, and academic events create a culture where students feel confident contributing to discussions and exploring new ideas.

Above all, the university’s creative ethos means that Economics isn’t taught as a rigid formula, it’s approached as a dynamic, global, people-centred discipline, giving you the space to grow into a thoughtful, adaptable economist, with a voice of your own.
