Course summary

Develop a sophisticated understanding of the political and economic realities faced by employers in every walk of life.

Course overview

This three-year Politics and Economics degree will give you the intellectual capacity to recognise, understand and anticipate the way that political and economic forces combine to shape our everyday lives.

You will study at both the School of Geography, Politics and Sociology and the Business School, tapping into their combined expertise, networks, support, careers advice and facilities, and becoming part of two flourishing student communities.

Your studies will be split 50:50 between politics and economics, with each helping to inform your understanding of the other. The course also has a strong mathematical component to help you master the unique quantitative requirements of the economic discipline.

Teaching methods

You will be taught through a stimulating combination of lectures, seminars, teamwork exercises, research projects and simulations.

You will also make use of interactive online learning environments such as Blackboard and MyEconLab.

Your future

You will graduate with the ability to think critically, assess complex material and data, carry out research, construct an argument and articulate it 鈥� a powerful skillset applicable to a wide range of careers.

These skills have seen our Politics and Economics graduates enjoy successful careers in politics, economics, finance, management consultancy, media, non-governmental bodies, inter-governmental organisations, human resources, marketing and business.

Some choose to pursue vocational training to become lawyers or teachers; and others undertake further postgraduate study in fields such as politics, business and finance.
