Modules
Providing you with a solid grounding in introductory economic theory, mathematics and statistics, your first year of study will focus on the relevance of such methods to the study of economic questions of cultural, political and social importance. In year two, you will develop your analytical skills and knowledge of the core disciplines of economics and quantitative methods, as well as the major sub-disciplines of economics. In your final year, you will examine the major themes in economics at an advanced level and build on the topics covered in previous years. You will select modules that interest you from a wide range of specialist options that reflect our research expertise in both theoretical and applied aspects of the discipline. Under the guidance of your supervisor, you will also undertake a year-long dissertation on a topic of your choice and will gain experience of the research process.
