This programme combines a rigorous foundation in economic theories and quantitative tools with opportunities to consider real-world problems using evidenced-based economic analysis. You’ll be taught by experts who combine their research experience with an innovative curriculum and teaching methods, preparing you to research and solve problems independently through an economics-lens in the future.

In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

The department's fundamental premise is that students should learn how to do economics themselves, rather than just learn how the academic staff or other economists do it. Alongside credit-bearing modules you can get involved with our optional not-for-credit series of Skills Lab modules that run in each year and help you learn independent study and research skills.

You can find an updated list of modules for this programme on the department's website.

In the first year you take compulsory modules in economics, applied economics, mathematics and statistics, as well as optional modules.

In your second year, principles of model-building, problem-solving and quantitativetechniques are emphasised, and you will take compulsory core modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics and econometrics.

In your final year you can choose from a wide range of optional modules. You are required to choose at least one module with an assessed research project component, using  tools and knowledge you’ve developed. Most final-year modules introduce you to research papers and current research, including that of staff members, and require you to independently consider how to combine all that you have learnt across the degree to different areas of economics. You can also elect to do a dissertation.

Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BSc (Econ) (Hons) in Economics.
