Plymouth's BSc in Economics will provide you with an in-depth knowledge of contemporary economics alongside the ability to apply that knowledge to the analysis of a range of practical situations that support both future learning and employment.
The first year of the degree emphasises the acquisition of key analytical and numerical skills, aiding the progressive development of your capacity for independent research and learning.
The second year develops your interest in, and awareness of, topical economic issues, and will further build your knowledge and understanding of a range of principles and theories for their analysis. Alongside this, you will begin your study of the quantitative methods used by economists and further develop your study skills.
The third year develops theories and empirical methods that are central to modern economic analysis, including individual dissertation work.
All undergraduate modules within Plymouth Business School have integrated within them a CV building activity, for example, through micro-credentialing; real world problem-based learning; or embedded direct employer activity. We do this because we know it is key to student academic and graduate success.
