Our Economics and Law degree has been designed to give you an in-depth understanding of the economic issues facing 21st-century society, alongside a solid grounding in our legal systems.You’ll gain a unique perspective on policy making, engage in legal debates about economic issues, learn how both economics and law shape the world around us and apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios. Throughout your study of economics and law, you’ll be encouraged to challenge preconceptions, ask questions, and take a creative and innovative approach to problem-solving.The course aims to incorporate modern approaches to the field of economics, amplifying the voices of those who have traditionally been excluded from economic decision-making based on race, gender or ethnicity. It will also give you a flavour of the legal landscape enabling you to see not only the economic issues facing the world, but also how we can counter these issues using the law.This optional placement year provides you with the opportunity to identify, apply for and secure professional experience, normally comprising one to three placements over a minimum of nine months. Successful completion of this module will demonstrate your ability to secure and sustain graduate-level employment.
