Economics is the study of how individuals, firms and governments make choices, and how these choices determine how resources are distributed across society. It helps us understand and improve decision-making for ourselves, organisations and societies, and it throws light on issues as diverse as the environment, unemployment, inflation, poverty, globalisation and trade.
As your studies progress through years one, two and three of this accelerated MA (Hons) programme, you will study an increasing number of specialist economics courses. The flexible degree structure lets you tailor your studies and follow your particular area of interest. It will equip you with a wide range of quantitative, analytical and communication skills to prepare you for career paths in business, management, marketing, banking, finance, policy analysis, civil service, academia, and more.
