    Economics and Finance

    Overview

    The BSc Economics and Finance programme will provide you with a real competitive edge as you gain knowledge of both economic and financial theories and an understanding of the relationship between the mechanisms driving economic systems and the workings of capital markets.

    You will develop the intellectual, analytical, and modelling skills needed to solve problems in economics, finance and a wide range of related areas. You will also learn to use the analytical tools required to appreciate and critically analyse economic and financial policy issues and real-world problems.

    The interdisciplinary path will prepare you for specialist courses such as financial economics and financial econometrics. This programme will also provide a basic knowledge of accounting, which is invaluable for understanding how enterprises work.
