Economics with professional placement or study abroad

About this course

Economics is the social science that studies how individuals, organisations, and societies make decisions about the allocation of scarce resources. It encompasses the microeconomic analysis of individual and firm behaviour and market structures, the macroeconomic study of aggregate phenomena such as growth, inflation, unemployment, and trade, and the mathematical and statistical methods, including econometrics, that allow economic theories to be tested against evidence. It is a discipline with broad analytical applicability and is among the most valued quantitative social science degrees in the graduate labour market. The University of Bath's four-year full-time Economics programme, offered with a professional placement or study abroad, combines rigorous academic content with substantial real-world experience. Bath's economics department is research-active and applies economic thinking
