COURSE CURRICULUM

The Economics degree program provides a comprehensive learning journey that builds from fundamental principles in Year 1 to advanced, specialized knowledge in Year 4. In the first year, students gain a solid foundation in both microeconomics and macroeconomics, covering essential concepts such as individual decision-making, market dynamics, government policies, and their impact on national economies. Modules like Introductory Mathematics for Economists ensure students develop the necessary mathematical skills for economic analysis. In Year 2, the curriculum expands to include more complex topics like Introductory Econometrics, equipping students with the ability to apply statistical methods to real-world data and economic theories. The year also includes deeper dives into Intermediate Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, building the analytical skills needed to understand and evaluate economic issues at a more sophisticated level. A major highlight is the Year in Enterprise or Placement Year in Year 3, which offers students the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, enhancing employability skills while applying classroom knowledge in professional settings. In Year 4, students can choose from advanced modules that specialize in areas such as financial markets, behavioural economics, and management accounting. The culmination of the program offers the option to complete a dissertation or a consulting project, allowing students to demonstrate their expertise in economics while engaging with real-world challenges. This structured approach ensures graduates are well-prepared for diverse career opportunities in economics, finance, business, and related fields.
