Economics with Integrated International Foundation Programme Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

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

Economics is the study of choice, investigating the decisions of consumers and firms, groups and governments, networks and nations. It plays a part in every aspect of life, using scientific methods to develop theoretical models of behaviour and testing intuition with empirical analysis of markets, institutions and public policy. Our teaching is research-led, meaning you will be learning from some of the world’s leading researchers in their field.

This comprehensive degree will develop your skills in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics.

It will teach you to abstract and simplify economic problems, both empirically and theoretically, developing a deep knowledge of global and local economic trends, institutions and policies. The degree focuses on research-led teaching and so we will expose you to research from the very start and will encourage you to consider your own research questions.

The flexible degree structure means that you can choose from many optional modules either from within or outside of the Department of Economics. These optional modules might include modules offered by: Warwick Business School, Politics, Philosophy, Computer Science, Languages and many more.
