About this course

Analyse how economies work using data and evidence. Build robust economics analytical & research skills, with optional placement or study abroad. The BSc Economics is a three-year degree, or four years with an optional placement or study abroad year. You’ll study how economies work, how people and institutions respond to incentives, and how economic evidence is used to explain real-world outcomes. With an emphasis on analysis, data, and economic reasoning, you’ll build the confidence to interpret evidence, and apply quantitative insight to complex economic questions. The BSc Economics gives you the opportunity to analyse how people, markets, and governments behave - and the quantitative tools to make sense of a world defined by uncertainty, incentives, and change. If you want a degree that explores not just what is happening in the economy but why - and what to do about it - this program
