BA Economics & Psychology

University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom
Save

Course Overview

Following the recent global economic crisis, economics is more important and relevant than ever. Decisions on money, banking, interest rates, taxation and government spending affect us all, with global consequences.

Economics aims to understand the activities of the different economic agents – consumers, producers and the government – and how they all fit together.

Our degree will allow you to explain complex data in simple terms to different audiences. You’ll also develop excellent mathematical, statistical and problem-solving skills.

In Psychology, you’ll study human behaviour. Psychological research is motivated by the desire to understand general behaviour (how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others) and the reasons for individual differences, such as personality or intelligence.

Please note a joint Honours degree is not accredited for the Graduate Basis for Chartered Membership by the British Psychological Society.
