These include industrial economics, economic history, labour economics and international economics.Economics is a numerate and increasingly mathematical subject and, consistent with other universities, some modules will have a quantitative element while others will be of a highly mathematical nature.Our Economics with German degree will provide you with a thorough understanding of economic analysis and will stimulate you to value this analysis in understanding economic problems and a wider range of social and political issues.In your third year you will attend a University in Germany and will be taught and examined in German.Distinctive featuresThe distinctive features of the Economics Programme include:•The opportunity to specialise in economic analysis through all three years of study and therefore to build up considerable knowledge and skills in the discipline;•The intellectual challenge derived from exposure to recent developments in economic theory;•The development of substantial quantitative and empirical research skills;•The chance to proceed to postgraduate study in economics at the UK’s premier Universities;•The possibility of moving into careers in the government economic service and major economic consultancies;•Study abroad year in a German-speaking country.
