You will engage directly in our common pursuit of cutting-edge, policy-relevant, and curiosity-driven research. Economists study the world around them by applying both mathematical and statistical methods. You will be required to learn both to ensure you have the most up-to-date skills. In year one, our courses offer a choice of quantitative pathways, which differ in their level of mathematical difficulty (for example, there is a separate stream for students without maths A level), but by year two all three streams come together since students will have been brought to the same level of mathematical skill required.
The final year dissertation module provides you with the opportunity to complete an independent research project on a topic of your choice. Under the guidance of a dissertation tutor, you will gain experience in the research process and a range of skills that will enhance your academic profile and CV.
