About the course

Our BSc Economics and Politics degree brings together two subjects that are intrinsically linked within our society. This joint honours course will prepare you to tackle a wide range of pressing issues, such as the impact of climate change on the economy, the financial crises, trade agreements and income tax. Every economic choice is a political choice and they affect large groups of people, such as taxation, interest rates and government spending. Studying economics and politics will teach you how to understand the behaviour of populations and how people respond to economic decisions. You will learn how this knowledge and research can be applied for maximum benefit in areas such as environment, energy, charity, philanthropy, public policy, society and finance.

　　Working alongside experts in the fields of economics and politics, you will develop the skills required to make informed, responsible decisions and to positively impact society in a diverse range of careers. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
