Economics and Politics with Study Abroad (BSc)

Develop a deep understanding of economic and political systems by studying complementary social sciences on this joint honours degree, which includes an additional year studying overseas. Experience enriching and exciting intellectual challenges from two schools with strong reputations for teaching and research. You'll build your core economics knowledge in areas like microeconomics, macroeconomics, and econometrics – the use of statistical methods to estimate economic models. Politics is organised around three themes: political theory, comparative and national politics, and international relations. You'll therefore study the politics of individual countries and governments, as well as the relationships between countries, communities and individuals. You'll also be able to tailor your degree to suit your interests and career ambitions with optional modules in both economics and politics. This enables you to explore topics ranging from global justice to behavioural economics, political thought to industrial economics, gender politics to international trade, and more. An optional dissertation will enable you to apply your knowledge and skills in a specialist area of politics if you choose – honing your research and analysis capabilities as you explore a question of particular interest to you. During the year studying abroad, you'll also explore economics and politics in a non-UK context, learning in English but at an international university in one of numerous global destinations.
