Study economics for a constantly changing world. This degree offers you formal and rigorous training in economic theory and real world application, and allows you to specialise in a key area of the modern economy. Today economics means change. New technologies constantly reconfigure how markets work. New emerging countries from around the world reshape the world economy. At Goldsmiths we encourage you to face these new and evolving challenges by thinking outside the box and marrying innovation with tradition. You'll cover: - economic analysis - finance and accounting - maths and statistics - microeconomics - macroeconomics - quantitative methods - communication and presentation skills But your degree does not stop there. You will be given a choice of five minor specialisations. You can choose the one that best suits your interests and future plans. These minor specialisations are: - Communication and Technology - Markets and Organisations - Human Behaviour and Choice - The Creative Impulse - Concepts, Ideas and Perspectives This choice makes your degree unique. You’ll be given a wide variety of modules from world-leading departments around Goldsmiths for you to explore these topics and develop links that will give you a niche in today’s competitive labour market. Any generic economic degree gives you the training you need to be an economist. But here we provide something on top of that, an understanding of the wider social and business context of economics, so that you will be able to effectively use the economist’s toolbox to solve the problems that you find interesting. **Placements** Because we want to provide you with all the support for your future career you will be given the opportunity to apply for a limited number of placements that the College would source. These occur at the end of your second year and constitute a 15-credit option towards your degree. Placements enhance your CV, bring theory and practical experience together, and help you develop industry contacts. Students are also able to undertake a work placement or traineeship abroad in a wide variety of organisations. As a student at Goldsmiths, you could receive an Erasmus+ grant for a traineeship at a company, organisation or university in Europe. **Why study economics at Goldsmiths?** Goldsmiths is the ideal environment to explore economics in new and imaginative ways informed by our current research. We teach economics in a pluralist way that takes account of the different traditions and schools of thought within economics. We have a very active team of academic economists who publish articles, books and online material for researchers, students and the public. A recent project is Economics: Past, Present and Future, an online resource produced and maintained by Economics at Goldsmiths and used across universities in the UK. On the website, students can find a series of interviews of celebrated economists such as Sheila Dow, Geoff Harcourt, Charles Goodhart, Tony Lawson, Julie Nelson and Ha-Joon Chang. The Institute of Management Studies is highly interdisciplinary and has academics researching not only in Economics and Political Economy, but also in Consumer Theory, Management, Business Psychology, Strategy, Innovation and Entrepreneurship. The Goldsmiths research community that you will come in contact with is even larger, and includes leading experts from Sociology, Psychology, Computing, Media Studies, History, Politics, Design and other departments teaching optional modules for the degree. Goldsmiths has an active centre for interdisciplinary research in Economics and Political Economy (PERC), which brings celebrated speakers into Goldsmiths from around the world, and also runs an economics seminar series. Through these events, you’ll have access to celebrated economists, business leaders, and policy practitioners. Please note the BA Economics only accepts applications for first year entry.

This degree operates a formal system of minor specialisations, also called streams. The compulsory element of this degree, that all students have to take, are a number of modules that provide students with a comprehensive training in Economic theory and application. The Economics modules that all students take are: Year 1 (credit level 4) Introductory Economics Economic Reasoning Perspectives from the Social Sciences Mathematics for Economics and Business Plus option modules Year 2 (credit level 5) Intermediate Microeconomics Intermediate Macroeconomics Quantitative Economics Applied Quantitative Economics History of Economic Ideas Economic History Plus option modules Year 3 (credit level 6) In your final year, you take three compulsory modules: International Economics Public Economics Communications and Presentation Skills You also take either: Individual and Institutional Economic Behaviour or Manias, Bubbles, Crises and Market Failure Plus option modules You will also have a choice of optional modules up to the value of 60 credits. Modules from your chosen minor specialisation make up the remaining credits for each year of study. Examples of optional modules in Economics include: Finance and Accounting Introduction to Economic Policy Consumer Behaviour Political Economy Ethics and Economics of Environmental Protection Finance and the Global Political Economy International Political Economy 2 Econometrics Advanced Econometrics Further Mathematics for Economics From National Statistics to Big Data Topics in Mathematical Economics Development Economics Topics in Economic Policy Money, Banking and the Financial System Marketing Analytics Choosing your Stream: The unique feature of this degree is the choice between the different streams that you can take over your three years. These streams explore links between Economics and related disciplines, and different streams offer modules from the following subject areas: Management, Entrepreneurship, Computing, Psychology, History, Sociology, Media, Anthropology and the Arts. Goldsmiths’ excellent reputation in all of these subject areas means you’re getting a unique educational experience and each year will provide you with a new level of learning that combines what you have learned previously in economics and in the interdisciplinary streams. More specifically, in your first year you choose two ‘taster’ modules from two different streams to be taken in the second term of year one. These two modules will help you decide which of the streams you like best and wish to continue with for the next two years. However, the programme continues to be flexible, as you are able to choose more economics modules from choices offered if you wish, or change streams up until the start of the third year, provided you have taken modules shared between the relevant streams. This means you do not need to worry about making the ‘wrong’ decision in your first year, as you do not choose your third year modules until the second term of your second year. I: Communication and Technology II: Markets and Organisations III: Human Behaviour and Choice IV: The Creative Impulse V: Concepts, Ideas and Perspectives Please note that due to staff research commitments not all of these modules may be available every year.

You’ll be assessed by a variety of methods, depending on your module choices. These include coursework, examinations, group work and projects.
