Course summary

This course is for Overseas students from outside the UK who have already studied 1 or 2 years of a relevant course at level 4 or 5 and wish to continue their education at the University of Greenwich. We teach BA Economics [https://www.gre.ac.uk/undergraduate-courses/business-school/economics-bsc-hons] for students who do not meet this entry criteria. Economics at Greenwich aims to provide you with the intellectual abilities and analytical tools to understand, analyse and act upon the most challenging issues of our time. We believe economics must help to build and more equitably share prosperity, create meaningful employment, and ensure the transition to a carbon-neutral future. We have responded to calls from students and industry alike to change the way we do economics: we are a national leader in applied real-world economics that learns from history and embraces diversity. This degree's modules gives students the possibility of specialising, during the course, in finance or ESG (environmental, social and governance issues) or the economics of public policy. In your time with us you will gain the knowledge and skills essential for either graduate employment or post-graduate study. Our graduates have pursued successful careers in industry, finance, the civil service, NGOs, research and education. What you should know about this course
