Course summary

Imagine a future where you possess the knowledge and skills to navigate the complexities of the global economy, contribute to social change, and create a thriving career for yourself. Economics isn't just about numbers; it's about understanding human behaviour, social issues, and other influencing factors that shape our world. Studying economics empowers you to make informed decisions and contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future. Alongside core modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics and quantitative methods, you can explore topics such as game theory and globalisation. You can also choose to complement your economics degree course by taking modules in subject areas such as finance, business management, digital marketing and law. The University of Brighton is accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) – an accreditation achieved by fewer than 6% of business schools globally.
