Overview

This dual honours degree focuses on the interaction between economic and political aspects of the modern world. The course analyses political ideas, institutions and practices. It also gives you a solid grounding in modern economic theory.

You’ll explore the issues underlying current debates on economic policy. And you’ll develop the quantitative and analytical skills essential for economists to make informed judgements.

The balance between the two subjects is roughly equal. Over the three years you’ll take compulsory and optional modules in both. The third year includes a project module in politics.

Career opportunities

Some graduates become professional economists in government, industry or the City. Others enter related professions – retail banking, investment banking, actuarial work, insurance underwriting, accountancy, sales and marketing, operations and retail management.
