COURSE CURRICULUM

The Economics degree provides a comprehensive understanding of economic theory, quantitative methods, and the social context of economic decision-making, preparing students for careers in finance, commerce, public policy, and industry. The course develops core skills in data analysis, econometrics, and experimental methods, alongside mathematical techniques essential for economic modelling. Students explore microeconomics and macroeconomics, learning how individuals, firms, and governments make decisions, and how these choices affect broader economic outcomes. Optional modules allow students to tailor their studies to areas such as development economics, industrial economics, global health, international trade, finance, public economics, risk management, and behavioural economics. Practical skills are developed through empirical research, data analysis projects, and dissertation work, enabling students to design, implement, and present independent research on chosen topics. The program also includes professional skills modules to enhance employability, covering career planning, internships, and real-world applications. Opportunities for study abroad, summer schools, and Student Innovation Projects provide exposure to global economic contexts and practical experience. By integrating theoretical knowledge, quantitative analysis, and applied research, the degree equips students with the expertise to analyse complex economic issues, make informed decisions, and contribute effectively to policy development, business strategy, and financial decision-making in a variety of professional settings.
