Course summary
Combining economics with modern languages and cultures gives your degree a truly global focus. Develop the practical skills an economist needs, including statistical and quantitative methods, and advanced economic analysis. Get a solid grounding in modern economic theory and how to apply it. Become a specialist in the application of rigorous quantitative and analytical skills to economic policy - while developing your chosen language or languages. Combine the study of economics with the study of modern languages and cultures, and graduate with a wealth of global career opportunities in economic and related fields. Receive economics training in advanced methods, particularly mathematical and statistical, and apply these methods, and your knowledge of economics, to a variety of real world problems. Choosing between one or two languages, you’ll develop highly valuable language skills, and a sophisticated understanding of the countries where your chosen language or languages are spoken. Prepare to leave this course as a graduate with highly sought after language and economic skills, and cultural awareness. Why study this course?
- Combine the study of economics with one or two languages - choose from 10 languages (German, French, Russian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Czech, Catalan, Italian, and Luxembourgish) to take your economic skills global.
- Spend a year abroad - the year abroad in third year enables you to immerse yourself in the language, culture and society of the language or languages you study.
- Variety, choice and flexibility - from a broad grounding in economic theory and analysis, this course allows you to specialise in your area of interest.
