Economics and International Relations with a Year in Industry and Integrated Foundation Year (January start) BSc Econ (Hons)
Queen Mary University of London
Key Course Facts
Course Description
The recent pandemic has shown that the global economy is made up of interconnected countries and their structures and economic policies.
The programme is designed to provide students with a strong grounding in the disciplines of Economics and International Relations, including micro and macro economics, labour and development economics, international political economy, globalisation, international public policy, comparative politics and regional studies, international security and international relations theory. The programme is designed to provide students with a grounding in all of these central issues (especially at levels 4 and 5), but at the same time provide sufficient flexibility to specialise in particular themes, topics and areas if they so wish (especially at level 6, but also to some degree at level 5).
This degree will help students develop a strong sense of intellectual integrity, acquire substantial knowledge in the broad fields of Economics and International Relations and apply these skills to wider situations.
