Program Overview

Our CIMA-accredited Economics degree combines detailed analysis of economic theory and its applications so that you can apply them to a range of real-world political and social issues. You'll develop the analytical and quantitative skills required for a wide range of careers in economics and beyond.

  • Throughout your degree, you will build skills for constructing and communicating complex economic issues, enhancing your leadership and employability skills.
  • Our teaching is at the forefront of the field and is influenced by real policy questions brought to classrooms by research active academics. Many of our academic staff are advisers to governments and world-renowned organisations.
  • You’ll have the option to take one of our award-winning Professional Training placements that will prepare you to work as an economist.
  • You’ll join a friendly and vibrant community which comes together over many additional opportunities that we host so you can enjoy and experience economics at its best: our annual Malthus Dinner, Nobel Prize Workshop, and trips to London.
  • All our Economics degrees are accredited by the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), fast-tracking your career by giving you exemption from some professional examinations.
  • Studying an Economics degree provides excellent graduate prospects and earnings. Ninety-five per cent of our Economics graduates were in employment or further study, earning an average of £32,046 (Graduate Outcomes 2024, HESA).

All our economics students follow the same first year in order to build a solid foundation on which to specialise. This means you can choose to transfer to the BSc Business Economics and Data Analytics, or Economics and Finance from your second year, or continue with the Economics BSc.  

All our programmes include two compulsory Employability modules where you will obtain advice and feedback on CV and cover letter-writing, and how to prepare for an interview. You will also be encouraged to think about what kind of career you wish to pursue and how to start working towards your future goals.

The first-year modules are designed to provide you with a broad range of basic tools, skills and knowledge that you will develop in the course of your programme. You will study introductory microeconomics and macroeconomics as well as the mathematics essential for an economist to know. First year modules also comprise introductory statistics and data analysis.  

In the second year, you will start to specialise according to your own interests. You will continue to study microeconomics and macroeconomics, now at a more advanced level. The skills that you acquire, and in combination with the econometrics modules, will allow you to observe and analyse the real world through the lenses of economic theory as well as set up and run a data analysis and interpret the results; something that is part of many economists’ daily jobs.  

In your final year, you can choose six optional modules in addition to two compulsory ones. We offer a long list of specialised modules, some of which are more technical than others, all taught by lecturers conducting research in various fields in economics. While deepening your knowledge of economic theory, you will learn how it can be applied in various settings (e.g. labour markets, development economics) to formulate policy recommendations. You may also want to improve, expand and reinforce your research and writing skills by selecting the Economics Project (a 5,000-word research project) as one of your optional modules.
