Economics and Sociology

About this course

Economics and sociology address the same world from different but complementary angles. Economics analyses how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions under conditions of scarcity, and how those decisions aggregate into the patterns of production, trade, and inequality we observe across nations. Sociology examines the social structures, institutions, and cultural forces that shape human behaviour in ways that purely economic models often cannot capture. Studied together, these disciplines produce a richer understanding of why societies look the way they do and how they change, and they equip you with both quantitative and qualitative tools for investigating the social world. At the University of Aberdeen, this four-year full-time degree gives you a thorough grounding in both disciplines. You will engage with microeconomic and macroeconomic theory, the economics of labour mark
