Economics, Politics and International Studies with Integrated International Foundation Programme Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) or Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BA/BSc (H)

This integrated four-year route combines Year 0 of the International Foundation Programme with Warwick's degree in Economics, Politics and International Studies. 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 the Economics, Politics and International Studies degree.

Our Economics, Politics and International Studies course (BSc/BA) crosses subject boundaries, combining economics and political analysis. It enables you to contextualise economic theory and practice within national and global political structures and behaviour. It also gives a rounded perspective of how governments, companies and individuals function in the 21st century, with up-to-date analysis and debate of key events.

This challenging degree crosses subject boundaries, combining economics and political analysis. Policymaking is influenced by economics and many of the policies that we see today around the world are based on economic analysis.

By considering both disciplines, you will gain a broad perspective on how governments develop policy and the impact of this on consumers, firms and political structures. The degree is very current, looking at the key issues of the day and encouraging debate and discussion.

You can maintain a breadth of study while focusing on areas that interest you, particularly during your final year. You can choose to major in one area, and you will have the flexibility to select up to six optional modules alongside a core module in the Making of Economic Policy.
