The BSc (Hons) Economics degree aims to provide students with a solid understanding of economic theories, economic policy making, econometric techniques, quantitative analysis and analytical reasoning. Students will learn to appreciate the decision-making process and develop their critical thinking, graduating with a unique skillset sought-after by future employers.
In each year of study, learners will be offered a choice of applied economic modules, as well as specialist economics or more general business modules. They'll also have the opportunity to study a foreign language, including Arabic, Chinese, French, Japanese or Spanish. This is an excellent idea if students want to broaden their horizons and experience another culture, particularly if they see themselves working abroad or for an international company in the future.
Recent students have visited partner institutions including Copenhagen Business School in Denmark and the University of Technology Sydney in Australia.
