Course Summary

The BSc Economics course is for quantitative economics specialists with a strong mathematical background. You will discover a range of economics branches before specialising, benefitting from an engaging and interactive learning experience at one of the UK's most historic centres for economic study. You also receive training for the compulsory stream units in economic principles, mathematical modelling and econometric techniques. Modern professional economists need to have a clear understanding of economic principles in order to recognise and model relevant economic problems. We ensure you are equipped with mathematical and econometric tools in order to solve and analyse such problems. Our carefully designed degree combines compulsory units in core economics and quantitative methods and the opportunity to specialise in a particular area of interest through optional course units. Employers look for candidates who can produce sound and clear reports that make sense of the available data using advanced quantitative skills in analysis and modelling. The analytical reasoning, essay writing and quantitative techniques provided give you the best employment prospects and a healthy start in your career. These skills can be developed and sharpened by choosing an optional dissertation in Year 3.
