Course overview

Money makes the world go around, but it’s economic decisions that keep it turning. Our acclaimed course looks at how everyday decisions all make a difference - whether it's in politics, the markets, in business to even our own personal lifestyle choices.

In our fast-paced, ever-changing world, fuelled by big data and AI, trained economists with the ability to analyse challenges, problem solve and create solutions are defining the future.

This is why governments, banks and businesses turn to and rely on economists for vital help with analysis and advice. And this could be your future role if you choose to study our highly acclaimed Economics degree.

Learn how economists think, analyse, and problem solve. Explore a wide range of real-world problems encountered by individuals, businesses, and governments today and potential approaches to addressing them.

Go beyond theory, challenge yourself with stimulating discussions on traditional and non-conventional economic approaches, and the impact they have in the real-world. Study traditional theories alongside heterodox methods.

Study a variety of perspectives, think independently, challenging theory where necessary and with good reason.

Feedback from one student sums it up: 'Overall, without the support from lecturers and the programme leader I would not have had such a positive university experience nor gone onto a masters. The staff made me realise my potential which I then unlocked.' (Urvish Patel (2018 graduate), 2021).
