Economics and Sociology

About this course

Economics and sociology together examine two of the most fundamental forces shaping modern life: the allocation of resources in a world of scarcity, and the social structures and cultural forces that influence how people live, relate to one another, and experience inequality. Economics brings rigorous quantitative analysis and formal modelling to questions about markets, incentives, and the behaviour of individuals and institutions. Sociology enriches that analysis with attention to power, class, race, gender, and the institutional arrangements that shape social outcomes in ways that purely economic models can miss. At the University of Manchester, this three-year full-time degree draws on two of the university's distinguished social science departments, combining the quantitative rigour of Manchester economics with the critical sociological tradition for which the university is known.
