Economics

Skills

Make your mark with the practical and transferable skills that matter most to employers.

Gain invaluable experience by solving real-world problems, addressing important social issues and policy questions.

With our BSc Economics, you’ll test your understanding of theory with real-world examples in the core aspects of economics, including:

• Policy
• Portfolio analysis
• Data analysis
• Responsible management

You’ll learn how different methods and tools are used to tackle issues and problems of economic policy and our annual Business Readiness modules will help enhance your employability.

As your financial skills grow, you’ll develop the commercial acumen, emotional intelligence, and self-reflection you need to realise your goals.

And you can put these skills into practice with an optional work placement after Year 2. Fully supported by our Placement Office, this is a chance to gain real-world experience before you graduate and get paid while you make valuable connections.
