Course summary

Overview Are you interested in how choices of individuals and firms combine to drive the modern global economy? At the same time, are you fascinated by human behaviour and do you enjoy analysing numbers? BSc Economics, Behaviour and Data Science provides you with thorough training in economic analysis with an additional focus on behavioural economics and data science – both areas increasingly valued by employers.

You’ll benefit particularly from UEA’s reputation and expertise in the specialism of behavioural economics. About This Course This degree is ideal for you if you have a curious and questioning nature. You’re fascinated by people and human behaviour and at the same time you enjoy analysing numbers and all sorts of data. You might know exactly what career you want to go into – or you may know that an economics and data science degree keeps your options open, possibly more than any other. Economics is a far broader subject than most people realise, and our BSc Economics, Behaviour and Data Science degree enables you to either enjoy the full breadth of the discipline or to discover and develop your own areas of personal interest. On this course, you'll combine a rounded training in economics with a focus on behavioural economics, programming and data analysis. You'll study microeconomics, macroeconomics, economic modelling and statistics, along with a broad range of optional modules offered by the School of Economics. More importantly, you’ll specialise in areas of behaviour economics, behavioural finance, and data science. You’ll receive the very best support and guidance through a dedicated module called STEPS (Skills, Training, Employability, Progression, and Support) running throughout your course, as well as through your academic adviser. A university-wide Learning Enhancement team is also on hand to help you with mathematics, writing, critical-thinking, revision, and time management skills. Employability is the backbone of our curriculum’s structure. Our teaching and assessment provide you with a curriculum that develops and enhances your employability relevant skills and attributes. The course’s syllabus is rich in real world examples and with opportunities for you to experience how the subject and its methods are applied. Guest lectures from graduate employers also contribute to the content of some of our modules. To develop and enhance your employability even further, our employability team organises a wide variety of events, such as: weekly employability workshops, networking and alumni events, one-on-one meetings with top professionals, job coaching and training, nationwide competitions, internships and consulting opportunities, mentoring by former alumni, among many others. The student-led Economics Society is the perfect place for you to network and socialise with fellow students, whilst our Staff-Student Liaison Committee gives you a say in the future direction and everyday running of the School. The Norwich Economic Publications (a combination of a journal and a Podcast run by students) and the ECO Blog are outlets where you can share your enthusiasm about what you study.
