Course Summary

**About This Course** Discover how money and power interact. Few economic questions are untouched by political themes. So this degree combines a thorough grounding in economic analysis with the study of theory and practice of politics. Offered in conjunction with the School of Political, Social and International Studies, you'll gain high-level training in economics alongside detailed insight into political science. By mastering both political and economic inquiry you'll be able to draw more wide reaching predictions and recommendations in answer to questions such as how to manage the trade-off between social welfare and levels of taxation. **Overview** Whether you are interested in business, politics or simply how the world ticks, economics is a wonderful discipline for understanding how individuals make choices, how those choices create markets, and how markets interact to create national and global economies. It also provides the essential understanding for how economic policies can be developed to improve social welfare. BSc Politics and Economics allows you to study both economics and politics in a combined approach, giving you a thorough and high-level training in economics while providing you with a detailed insight into political science. **Disclaimer** Course details are subject to change.
