Course Description
Our BA Economics with International Foundation Year course focuses on how economic tools can be applied to different markets and situations.
This programme is designed for international students. If you want to study economics at a British university but don’t have the correct qualifications, our four-year BA Economics with International Foundation Year programme enables you to undertake an undergraduate economics degree.
You will complete a foundation year (called Year 0) before progressing onto our three-year BA Economics degree. This means you can apply for a single four-year visa that covers the whole duration of your studies.
The foundation year is designed to equip you with the subject-specific and general study skills needed to cope with the demands of undergraduate study. Our high-quality teaching is geared towards the needs of students from a wide range of educational backgrounds.
