COURSE CURRICULUM

The BSc Economics and Finance with International Year One offers a comprehensive academic journey, beginning with a strong foundation in both microeconomics and macroeconomics in the first year. Students develop essential skills in mathematical and statistical methods, equipping them to model and analyze economic scenarios. The curriculum also emphasizes real-world applications, such as behavioral economics, which explores how consumer and firm decisions are influenced by various factors. Specialized modules, like Introductory Microeconomics and Introductory Macroeconomics, introduce core economic concepts, while the Introductory Mathematics for Economists module supports students in developing the necessary mathematical skills for further study. The second year builds on this knowledge, with a deeper focus on econometrics and corporate finance, along with optional modules that allow students to tailor their studies to areas such as global trade or programming. In the third year, students gain valuable practical experience through a work placement or a year in enterprise, applying their knowledge in a professional setting. The final year sharpens their expertise in financial markets, behavioral finance, and risk management, offering opportunities for in-depth research through a dissertation or consulting project. This blend of theoretical study and practical application ensures graduates are well-prepared for careers in economics, finance, and related fields.
