Description
An Economics BSc is for you if you want to build on the foundation of a Mathematics A-level and gain specialist knowledge in the application of mathematics and statistics to core areas of economics.
You can't listen to the radio or watch the news without coming across an economic issue. If these issues capture your attention and you want to study them in a young and dynamic department then this is the university for you.
The thorough understanding of economics that this course offers will enable you to better understand the world around you and the economic issues we encounter on a daily basis.
The first year of this degree is common to the following BSc degrees:
Banking and Finance BSc
Business Economics BSc
Economics BSc
Economics and Accounting BSc
Financial Economics BSc
This means that you will have the option to switch to one of the BSc degrees in this list during your first year.
This course will prepare you for a career in economic research, statistical forecasting and econometrics, as well as traditional areas of economics such as management, finance and accountancy. Your time here will also equip you with research techniques that are vital to postgraduate study.
Our staff are internationally renowned and have acted as advisers and consultants to many international and national organisations, including the European Central Bank, the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the Central Bank of Poland, the Central Bank of Greece and a number of UK Government departments.
To help you develop the skills that leading employers ask for, and let you see how traders work, we have 12 Bloomberg terminals in the University Library.
The close relationship between research and teaching is one of the great advantages of studying with us. We welcome talented students from countries all over the world.
