Course Description

How will government policy decisions affect economic growth? What impact does immigration and migration have on the labour market? How can companies accurately forecast return on investment? Understanding why we do what we do is key to the economist's role, with econometrics allowing us to analyse theoretical models and turn data into actionable information. On our BSc Economics and Econometrics, you will learn how to use statistical and mathematical models to test economic theories through the practical application of real-world data analysis. You will discover how to analyse the complex relations between economic phenomena so that you can accurately predict future trends. You can tailor your studies to your career aspirations through optional modules that allow you to specialise in areas such as economic policy analysis, international trade and behavioural economics. You can also enhance your CV by studying abroad at our campuses in China or Malaysia or with a partner institution in locations like Australia, Canada or Japan. You will graduate with all the knowledge, practical skills and confidence you need to stand out to employers as you start your career.
