Undergraduate programmes
Departmental programmes
Our departmental programmes begin with a broad and well structured first year, designed to enable you to proceed into the more flexible second and third years with a solid base for progression. Alongside the Economics modules you study, you will take Mathematics and Statistics modules in Year 1. Skills in both areas are valuable in all of our programmes.
To enhance your skills in the 1st year, you will register for either 'Mathematics I' or 'Mathematical Techniques in Economics', the former being recommended to students with a good previous knowledge of Mathematics. Similarly for Statistics, students register for either 'Introduction to Statistical Theory' or 'Introductory Statistics', depending on prior knowledge.
Joint programmes with other departments
In the first year of a combined programme you undertake a mixture of introductory Economics modules, and modules from your other chosen subject area. If you are studying Economics with History or Sociology then in your second year you will take modules in Microeconomics and Macroeconomics and further modules from the extensive economics module list. In the third year, History and Sociology degree students take Applied Economics and one optional module. The remaining credits are taken in the other subject area.
Economics and Mathematics students take Microeconomics and Macroeconomics in both their second and third years. Mathematics and Finance students take Microeconomics and Macroeconomics in the second year, along with finance modules. In the third year, they take further finance modules. In addition, both groups can take various modules from Economics and Mathematics.
