This four-year programme combines a rigorous economics foundation, opportunities to consider real-world problems and a year of study at a university overseas. You'll be taught by experts who combine their research experience with an innovative curriculum and teaching methods, preparing you to research and solve problems independently through an economics-lens in the future. The department's fundamental premise is that students should learn how to do economics themselves, rather than just learn how academic staff or other economists do it. Alongside credit-bearing modules you can get involved with our optional not-for-credit series of Skills Lab modules that run in each year and help you learn independent study and research skills. You will spend the third year studying at an eligible university overseas.
