At a time of globalisation of business and finance, the ability to communicate in a foreign language can significantly enhance your career prospects. This BSc combines a thorough training in statistics with modules in economics and the study of a foreign language (Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin or Spanish).

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 statistics component of the programme is based on the Statistics BSc. Your first year will include mathematics, statistics and some computing, which will be followed by increasing specialisation in statistics in the second and third years. The economics component includes a foundation in micro- and macroeconomics and a range of optional modules in economics, econometrics and finance. When you start the programme you will be asked to nominate a language (Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin or Spanish), and you will follow modules in this language and its associated culture.

Each language is offered at a range of different levels, from modules for complete beginners to advanced post A level modules focusing on the use of the language in a business, professional or academic context. The starting level is flexible and will depend on your prior knowledge of your chosen language.

It is also possible to study two foreign languages in this degree programme if you have sufficient prior knowledge of one of these languages.

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