Our BSc (Hons) Politics and Economics course will provide you with the tools and knowledge to better understand the different forms of power that shape the world around us. We are ranked in the top 10 for business and economics in the UK by the Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2021 by subject. **What you will study** Our BSc (Hons) Politics and Economics course will provide you with an in-depth understanding of core political and economic concepts, theories and methodologies.
