About the course

This course allows you to specialise in methodological modules with finance. You'll learn rigorous quantitative and analytical skills and apply this knowledge to your analysis of economic policy.

　　By approaching economics from a financial angle, you'll receive training in advanced methods, particularly mathematical and statistical. You'll be able to apply these methods, and your knowledge of finance, to a variety of economic problems.

　　Right from the first year studying foundational economic principles and theories, you’ll begin building a toolkit of theoretical and quantitative skills. As you progress, you’ll have the option to specialise, deciding in the final year whether to incorporate applied modules alongside the methodological pathway.

　　This degree comes with the opportunity to do a year-long, paid work placement, starting after your second year with some of the UK's top employers – these have included the Bank of England, HM Treasury, IBM and PwC.

　　Variety, choice and flexibility - this course allows you to specialise in your area of interest, building from a broad grounding in economic theory and analysis, and guiding you through methodological modules focused on finance.

　　Placement opportunities - this degree comes with the opportunity to do a year-long, paid work placement with a leading employer in your second year.

　　Excellent career prospects - 93.8% of economics students who graduated in 2020 were in employment or further study 15 months after leaving university
