Economics and Econometrics with Study Abroad Bachelor of Science (with Honours) - BSc (Hons)

On this degree, you'll develop analytical and quantitative skills applicable to a wide range of careers in economics and beyond.

We teach economics in a technically rigorous way, using mathematical models to formalise key concepts. You will also develop a deep knowledge of econometrics: the statistical methods economists use to analyse data, estimate economic relationships and test theories.

Econometrics is a vital part of modern economics. Because we cannot run controlled experiments on entire economies, econometric methods allow us to isolate causal effects and draw reliable conclusions from empirical observations.

You will build a strong foundation in econometrics, mathematics, statistics, machine learning, data analysis, and micro and macroeconomics. Optional units enable you to tailor the degree to your career ambitions, with choices in areas such as data science, behavioural economics, accounting, auditing, finance, international business and more.

You will also have the opportunity to complete an economics dissertation, allowing you to explore a question that matters to you and to demonstrate your research, analytical and communication skills.\
