Our BA programme provides you with a broad understanding of economics, and exposes you to a wide range of specialist economics areas. As you progress through your degree, your focus will be on the application of economics to real-world problems.

You'll develop the theoretical understanding and quantitative skills needed to help you become a highly proficient economist, with a focus on the application of economics to real-world problems.

In your first year you'll be introduced to foundational economic principles and theories and develop your core quantitative skills in mathematical and statistical methods for economics. You will then build on your toolkit of theoretical and quantitative skills in your second and final years and apply these to the specialist areas of economics that interest you the most.

You will be able to choose which pathway to specialise in. You'll have the same core and optional modules on the BA Economics and BSc Economics courses in the first and second years, so that you can study modules in both applied and methodological economics.

At the end of your second year you will then decide if you wish to focus on the applied pathway (BA Economics), or switch to the methodological pathway (BSc Economics).

This will determine the set of modules you can choose to study from in your final year, which includes the flagship Economics Policy and Practice module. This module provides an opportunity for you to apply your skills and knowledge to contemporary economic policy challenges, while also developing new skills in economic policy evaluation and in the communication of economics to both specialists and non-specialists. In addition to developing subject specific knowledge, this module will enhance your employability skills, challenging you to critically appraise, analyse, interpret and communicate economics when it is applied to real-world issues.

This degree comes with the opportunity to do a year-long, paid work placement, starting after your second year with some of the UK's top employers – these have included the Bank of England, HM Treasury, IBM and PwC.

Whichever path you choose, you’ll graduate equipped with the practical skills you need to forge a career as an economist in the public, private or third sector, or other related professions.
