Course summary

The BA(Econ) in Economics is an interdisciplinary course that allows you to specialise in Economics, plus another social science with units such as philosophy, politics, and sociology. You have the flexibility to either delve into technical units in Economics such as Econometrics and Mathematical Economics or combine economics units covering inequality and climate change with social science units to develop a well-rounded understanding on social issues. Economics and all joint social science pathways share a common first year, allowing you to switch to a different pathway after Year 1 if you want to.
