Students may study Economics as a single discipline or in conjunction with another subject such as accounting, finance, a modern language or another social science or arts subject. Irrespective of programme choice, the degree provides a thorough grounding in micro- and macroeconomics and equips students with the quantitative skills necessary to support their studies. This develops an understanding of the economic issues confronting our society and provides an insight into possible solutions. The programmes are based on three years of study and six modules are taken each year - three modules per semester. (Note: the range of modules is subject to the acceptance of final programme review.) All BSc (Econ) students will take the following: Year 1 Applied Economics Financial Institutions and Markets Market Theory Mathematics for Economists Principles of Economics Statistics Year 2 Economic Growth Theory Economic Policy Game Theory with Economic Applications Industrial Organisation Introductory Econometrics Managerial Economics Year 3 Students will take modules in International Economics and Applied Econometrics.
