Develop analytical and quantitative skills applicable to a wide range of careers in economics and beyond on this degree, which includes an additional year studying economics at an overseas university.

We teach economics in a technically rigorous way. Econometrics – the application of statistical methods to data to estimate economic models – is a central component of the programme.

As well as building core knowledge in mathematics, statistics, macro- and microeconomics, you'll be able to tailor your degree to suit your interests and career ambitions with optional modules. This enables you to explore topics ranging from behavioural economics to machine learning, health economics to international trade, banking and finance to accounting, and much more.

You'll also explore economics in a non-UK context during a year studying abroad, learning in English but at an international university in one of numerous global destinations. Visit Bristol Abroad to find out more.

A dissertation will further enable you to apply your knowledge and skills in a specialist area of economics, as you hone your research and analysis capabilities exploring a question of particular interest to you.

You'll benefit from teaching that's informed by the latest developments in economics and our cutting-edge research – research which ranks in the top five for economics and econometrics amongst UK universities (REF 2021). We are also home to the Economics Network, which improves the teaching and learning of economics in universities throughout the UK and Europe.

By the end of the programme, you'll be well-prepared for a successful career. On average, Bristol economics students earn 28% more than other UK economics graduates within five years of graduation – typically enjoying salaries between £44,000 and £87,000 per year (discoveruni.gov.uk, 2025).

Recent BSc Economics graduates have gone on to work at globally renowned organisations including Deloitte, the Bank of England, JP Morgan, Bloomberg, EY, the NHS, KPMG, Mastercard, HMRC, Amazon Web Services, Citibank, and Hargreaves Lansdown.

Job roles of recent BSc Economics graduates include Data Analyst, Economist, Investment Officer, Tax Consultant, Business Development Associate, Cloud Engineer, Pricing Analyst, Maths Teacher, Corporate Finance Analyst, Freelance Writer, Credit Analyst, Operations Specialist, Audit Associate, and Independent Financial Planner.
