Economics and Politics MA (Hons)

Course Overview - Economics and Politics MA (Hons)

This popular joint programme combines two core social science disciplines.

You will discover many potentially creative tensions between the two disciplines, which reflect the different modes of analysis traditionally used in economics and political science.

The traditional links between economics and political science have been strengthened in recent years by the rapidly growing research programme into new political economy.

Our joint programme exploits these links and tensions through a wide variety of optional honours courses.
