Course summary
Join our Economics course with a Foundation Year and build the practical skills and key knowledge that will enable you to thrive in real world scenarios. You'll explore current events and key issues like the climate crises and other global challenges. From financial markets and sustainability to innovative entrepreneurship, you’ll learn to critique current events and challenge theoretical models and their predictive power. You'll forge connections with a diverse network of local and global organisations and economic visionaries. Our partnerships include BMW Mini, local councils, heritage attractions like Blenheim Palace, and retail stores.

As you progress through your degree, you’ll have a variety of experiences that will help shape you into a graduate who is connected and engaged with society. You’ll also build your resilience so you can easily adapt in an age of fast paced change and graduate with a clear idea of how to stand out in a fast evolving employment market.
