Experience enriching and exciting intellectual challenges from two schools with strong reputations for teaching and research. Study these complementary social sciences and develop a deep understanding of global markets and political systems.

Economics follows a series of core units in the first and second years, covering micro- and macro-economics, mathematics, statistics and econometrics.

This lays the foundations for specialising in the areas of economics that most interest you in your third year. Popular unit options have previously included Development Economics, Behavioural Economics, History of Economic Thought and International Economics.

You will also study the politics of individual countries and governments and the relationships between countries, communities and individuals. Politics is organised around three themes: political theory, comparative and national politics, and international relations.

In addition to compulsory units that will give you a solid grounding in politics, you will be able to select from a range of units that are closely linked to staff research interests and therefore unique to Bristol.

Politics units cover subjects such as international relations, political economy, UK politics, US politics, gender, security and conflict. There is a strong emphasis on research skills, with the possibility of completing a dissertation in the final year.

Accreditations

Our Economics and Politics BSc is approved by major professional bodies in the UK (CIMA) so as a graduate you can gain exemptions from a number of their examinations or credits for prior learning.
