Economics with a Year in Industry and Integrated Foundation Year (September start) BSc Econ

Economics is at the heart of what we hear and read about in the news – from interest rates and food prices to the job market and global trade.<br/><br/>Our Economics degree is firmly rooted in the real world. You’ll study the ways in which people and businesses respond to incentives, and the production and allocation of resources.<br/><br/>In the first two years you’ll cover both macroeconomics – the economy as a whole including themes such as unemployment, taxation, investment and inflation; and microeconomics – the behaviour and motivations of individuals and companies. You’ll also learn to apply quantitative techniques to investigate relationships between economic variables.<br/><br/>Final-year options apply this core knowledge to more specialised areas such as labour, industrial and health economics, technology and innovation, and business cycles. You can also choose from a number of finance modules.<br/><br/>Throughout your studies youll have use of a dedicated Bloomberg trading room, giving you access to the same economic and financial data used by practitioners in industry.
