How do political systems influence economic decision-making? Who decides what is fair? What can be done to tackle political and economic inequality? On BA Politics and Economics, you’ll answer these questions through the study of global and comparative politics, as well as an introduction to micro and macroeconomics. This will give you an understanding of the choices we make as individuals as well as the decisions that are made on our behalf by governments. You’ll learn about the complex political and economics processes that impact us on a local, national and global scale. This course will also enable you to make better informed decisions and have a greater awareness of how you can personally contribute to social and political change.

In year one, you will take modules in political theory, global politics and comparative politics. You will compare political institutions and behaviour in states around the world and gain a thorough understanding of the history of political ideas. You will also be introduced to the foundations of economics, and understand the role of government in macroeconomic management, such as fiscal and monetary policy. In your second year, in politics you will choose one or two core modules and will then have free choice of one or two additional modules so that you can begin to tailor your degree to your interests. In economics you will study principles of macroeconomics and microeconomics. In your final year, you may complete a politics dissertation supervised by an academic. You will also choose modules in politics and economics from the full range of options offered by both schools.
