Economic Studies and Global Sustainable Development with Integrated International Foundation Programme Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (with Honours) - BASc (Hon)

This integrated four-year route combines Year 0 of the International Foundation Programme with Warwick's degree in Economic Studies and Global Sustainable Development. The International Foundation Programme develops your understanding of how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions, and how these choices shape markets, economies, and societies. You will explore key economic theories and models, learning how they are used to analyse and address real-world challenges such as inflation, growth and sustainability.

Through a blend of theory, application, and quantitative analysis, you will build the mathematical, statistical, and critical thinking skills essential for success in university-level Economics. Alongside your subject-specific studies, you will develop your academic communication and research abilities, enabling you to present complex ideas clearly and effectively. By the end of this first year, students will have developed the academic foundations and be well prepared to progress Year 1 of BASc Economic Studies and Global Sustainable Development.

Our BASc Economic Studies and Global Sustainable Development (GSD) degree will harness your passion for Economics and, in combination with the study of GSD, allow you to answer the pressing questions of our time.

Economics is at the core of Global Sustainable Development (GSD). On this degree you will critically analyse economic models and theories of sustainable development through quantitative and qualitative approaches. Economics modules will provide you with an essential background in micro and macro economics, as well as methodologies for statistical analysis.

Your studies in GSD will empower you to consider the human and environmental implications of development. You will consider challenging questions on climate change, biodiversity, gender equality, and other core components of sustainability. The combination of Economic Studies and GSD encourages you to take a new perspective on our changing global economy.

You can enhance your skills and studies through optional work placements, study abroad, and certificates.
