Whether you want to be a financial forecaster, a researcher or even a future leader of industry, our lively and involving economics courses prepare you for success.
Develop the ability to analyze economic information through theoretical and practical research-based modules, and gain essential analytical and numerical skills.
The course starts with a foundation year 0, specifically designed to introduce and develop essential skills for success in Higher Education, including critical thinking and research skills, and the knowledge and understanding of key facets of business, accounting and economics.
Key features
The foundation year is an integral part of the extended degree and you will benefit from experienced university lecturers. Whilst completion of the foundation year will not lead to a separate award or qualification in its own right, you will be able to confidently progress to further study within the Plymouth Business School.
We emphasise a real-world application based approach in many modules which integrates theoretical and evidence-based analysis in order to best support your development as a professional economist.
We recognise that our students are diverse with different backgrounds and interests. Our course offers contemporary electives enabling you to tailor your degree to your personal interests. In addition to our flexible economics pathway we offer a financial economics pathway that allows you to specialize in international trade and finance.
Enhance your employability by completing a placement year. You will be supported by the University's excellent career service and dedicated placement preparation sessions.
A programme not only designed to develop your skills and capabilities as an economist but also to offer numerous opportunities to build your CV in other ways for example through opportunities for micro-credentialing, engaging in real-world problem-based learning and actively researching. We do this because we know it is key to student academic and graduate success.
The Bloomberg Interactive Learning Suite allows students to research fields such as corporate finance, derivative markets, portfolio and risk analytics, real-time data and investment simulations.
