Following a similar structure to BSc Economics, this course also includes modules in econometrics, providing a rigorous analysis of mathematical and statistical methods.

It has been designed to provide you with the analytical and discursive skills of a well-trained economist with a focus on advanced econometric analysis.

By the end of your course, you will have the skills to analyse complex economic problems using state-of-the-art mathematical and statistical modelling techniques. You will have a thorough knowledge of a broad range of economic theory and how it is applied to the real world.

Core modules in econometrics form part of all three years of the degree; however, there is the opportunity to take modules outside the school in years one and two if you wish, subject to approval.
