You will be among the first to study at our new £16 million Brookfield campus. You will learn the core areas of microeconomics and macroeconomics and the application of basic mathematical and statistical techniques to solve economic problems.

You will engage with contemporary policy issues and economic analysis and develop analytical abilities and critical appraisal skills. These are special transferable skills for graduate employment and will prepare you for a public or private sector career, whether in financial services, business management or Government Economic Service.
