Economics with a Foundation Year

About this course

Economics is the study of how individuals, firms, governments and societies make choices about how to allocate scarce resources, and how those choices shape the world around us. It uses mathematical and statistical tools alongside theoretical reasoning to understand markets, prices, growth, inequality, trade and the effects of policy. The discipline spans microeconomics, which examines how individual agents make decisions, and macroeconomics, which looks at the behaviour of entire economies, and it increasingly draws on data science and experimental methods to test hypotheses against evidence. At Loughborough University this four-year full-time programme includes a foundation year that provides an alternative entry route for students who meet specific eligibility criteria. The foundation year builds the mathematical and academic foundations needed to engage with the full degree programm
