The University of Liverpool Management School is one of an elite group of institutions worldwide to be AACSB and EQUIS Accredited.
If you are interested in why individuals, companies and governments behave in certain ways and want to develop high level quantitative and analytical skills to succeed in a variety of roles, an Economics degree might interest you.
The BSc Economics programme develops students’ analytical skills and provides comprehensive training in, and practical application of, the theoretical and quantitative tools used in the study of economics and finance.
You will gain a solid understanding of the current economic and financial issues faced by governments and businesses and the ability to apply econometric models to support these findings in either of our two pathways: Economics or Finance.
Our graduates successfully find careers as analysts, consultants, researchers, traders and other roles in organisations such as Deloitte, GSK, KPMG, NHS, PwC, as well as specialist investment/economic research firms or pursue postgraduate study.

Course Details - Modules
Students on both pathways are given rigorous grounding in both microeconomic and macroeconomic theory and econometric theory during the first two years of study. Students following the generalist pathway have an opportunity in the first year to take business-related modules offered by the School, whilst those on the finance pathway take introductory modules in accounting and finance. In the second year, finance students continue their specialist studies with modules in financial management and securities markets, whilst students on the generalist pathway can select modules from a range of economics areas. In the final year, students are able to select from a greater range of optional modules so that they can specialise in the areas of economics and finance that are of the greatest interest to them and their future aspirations.
