This is a four year degree that includes a year of study abroad, also referred to as ‘Exchange’. You will usually go on an exchange on your third year of study, so you’ll begin planning and applying for your exchange in your first and second year. Study abroad (exchange) opportunities exist throughout Europe, through the Erasmus+ programme. We also offer global exchange opportunities in the USA, Asia and Australasia. We are constantly growing our international exchange partnerships and have long-standing relationships with universities across the world who have welcomed our students as part of our exchange programme. Economics is concerned with the optimal use of resources. Studying economics develops your knowledge of the factors influencing how international organisations, governments, companies, domestic financial institutions and individuals invest and allocate their resources including money. Economists evaluate and compare the costs and benefits of different courses of action, considering issues such as employment, the distribution of income and wealth, government spending, investment, productivity and growth, international trade, finance and governments' debt servicing. You will develop skills valued by employers, such as analytical and numerical skills, problem solving and the ability to interpret data, extract and understand information. In Year 1, your studies provide a thorough grounding in Economics. In Year 2, you start to specialise through either choosing a pathway or the quantitative analysis unit if you wish to progress to the BSc. In Year 3, you can complete the BA (Hons) Economics or transfer to BSc (Hons) Economics, which has a stronger focus on applied statistical knowledge and quantitative skills. Please note that we do not accept direct applications to the BSc degree. We are a double-accredited business school, having gained the prestigious AACSB accreditation to provide excellence in global management education. This places us among the top 5% of business schools worldwide to have secured this accreditation and means your degree is internationally recognised. An Economics degree develops numerous skills for employment - including analytical, quantitative, IT, presentation and inter-personal skills and we have an impressive graduate employment record. Staff are student focused and have developed innovative teaching methods including Moodle - the University's virtual learning environment - podcasting and videos. Our staff are research active and they integrate their findings into their undergraduate teaching. This ensures that your studies have a strong theoretical underpinning which is informed by the latest developments. The Faculty of Business and Law hosts two Professional Development Weeks annually. Free and open to all students, this includes a festival of skills-development activities, practical support in developing your CV and employability skills, and the opportunity to network with actively recruiting graduate employers.
