In today’s highly-competitive, data-driven, and multi-faceted professional environments, our Economics programme will provide you with an excellent foundation for any career in Economics, Business, Finance, and government, or equally for further graduate study.

Economics is all around us: it is the study of interactions and being able to evaluate and affect outcomes for the benefit of society. Studying Economics, you will acquire and develop the economist’s toolkit which requires you to think critically about complex issues, often with opposing viewpoints, in addition to evaluating interactions with rigorous numerical and logical reasoning.

Above all, economics is a discipline grounded in evidence, so you will also develop excellent data analysis and research skills. Economics is therefore a powerful combination of not only being able to understand the world around you, but it also gives you the power and agency to change it for the better.
