Economics and Politics (LL12)

There is a common structure to all joint honours degrees which requires that you take at least nine modules in Economics. In each year, students should normally take all modules listed in the designated pathway, and must normally pass all core modules (indicated by “*”) in order to obtain a joint honours degree with “Economics” in the title.
