BSc (Econ) (Hons) Economics and International Finance with a Year in Industry and Integrated Foundation Year

In an ever-more connected world, we need to understand trade, finance and strategy on an international level. The 2008 financial crisis showed us how regional events can have massive global consequences. Understanding financial decision-making, risk management and the behaviour of global financial markets has never been so important. You’ll develop an international perspective from the first semester, with a module on the world economy. You’ll cover macroeconomics and microeconomics, and learn to apply quantitative techniques. You’ll also study financial topics such as international finance and international trade. With a wide choice of modules in the final year, you can direct your studies to your interests or career goals, from behavioural economics to corporate strategy and the finance of emerging markets. Develop your business skills and spend a year on placement – apply for our Year in Industry option. You'll put your understanding of economics into practice in a real-world environment, gaining invaluable experience for your future career.
