This unique economics course gives students the opportunity to gain expertise across the whole discipline or specialise in econometrics or financial economics as students progress through their degree. The degree title will reflect what students learn, so if you choose to take modules with an econometrics focus, students will graduate with 'Economics (Econometrics) BSc'.
