Undergraduate

Economics is a set of analytical tools to help address the world’s toughest societal problems. A first degree in Economics prepares you for a career in a wide range of employments valuing analytical and quantitative skills, particularly government and central banks, financial services, research, and consulting. But our graduates also take up satisfying and important roles in sectors as diverse as international development, teaching, journalism, and many others. A significant number go on to graduate work.

Our Undergraduate teaching

Undergraduate economics teaching at the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ blends rigorous training in the traditional tools of economic analysis with innovations in course content and pedagogical approaches. Our course leaders strive to engage students with real world problems and experiment with new approaches to delivery of material or organising learning, while maintaining the rigour traditionally found in the ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳ curriculum.  We have introduced many innovations in our teaching practice and endeavour to make our undergraduate course one of the most modern on offer. Examples of this innovation in the core courses of our BSc Economics programme can be found here.


Programmes

We currently offer three single honours degrees in: Economics; Econometrics and Mathematical Economics; and Economics with Economic History (until 2020/21).
