In year two, you study five core modules investigating Macroeconomics, Microeconomics, Data Analysis, Business Competition and Corporate Finance, and choose one further module from a selection that includes Economics of Social Policy, European Economics, Intermediate Methods for Economics and Finance, and Organisational Behaviour, Marketing or one chosen from another department.

In year three, you study one core module looking at Industrial Organisation; choose a further three modules from a selection that includes Applied Econometrics, Development Economics, History of Economic Thought, Labour Economics, International Economics, Monetary Economics, Environmental Economics and Policy, Public Economics, Advanced Macro and Micro Economic Theory, Security Investment Analysis, Financial Theory and Corporate Policy; and produce a dissertation (double module).

You also have the opportunity to extend your course to four years by taking year three as an industrial placement or an international exchange.
