BSc Economics (L100)

This degree offers professional training in economics and finance, providing an excellent basis for employment in the private or state sector and for further academic study. The first two years cover a core of macroeconomics, microeconomics and the quantitative techniques used in economic analysis and investigation. Final-year options enable you to apply this core knowledge to a variety of more specialised areas.

For each module you will have a weekly two hour lecture followed by a one-hour class. Some of your work will be computer-intensive, using networked terminals in the Department’s computer laboratories.
