Overview

The BSc Economics and Politics degree brings together two subjects that are intrinsically linked within society. This joint honours course will prepare students to tackle a wide range of pressing issues, such as the impact of climate change on the economy, the financial crises, trade agreements and income tax. Every economic choice is a political choice and they affect large groups of people; such as taxation, interest rates and government spending. Studying economics and politics will teach students how to understand the behaviour of populations and how people respond to economic decisions. Students will learn how this knowledge and research can be applied for maximum benefit in areas such as environment, energy, charity, philanthropy, public policy, society and finance. Working alongside experts in the fields of economics and politics, students will develop the skills required to make informed, responsible decisions and to positively impact society in a diverse range of careers. In the first year, students are introduced to the main facets of the discipline: statistics, microeconomics and macroeconomics. Students learn about computer-based methods for analysing economic data, and explore topics in applied economics. There are modules on Economic History, along with a Quantitative Methods course for students looking for a higher level of technical skill. In the second year, students consolidate the main areas of the subject and begin to explore the many optional modules on offer. Students might opt for theoretical or mathematical economics or study more applied topics. The emphasis in the final year shifts towards the application of economic theory and how this impacts on policy-making. As well as learning the detail of the subject, students will develop the all-round skills needed for a modern working world - critical thinking, problem solving, communication, and creativity. For many students, this is a big transition but students can be reassured that right across campus support and help is available if they need it. University is a time for self-discovery and adventure - students will shape their own experience and discover who they are.
