Economics is a social science and concerns how decisions affect our wealth, well-being and income. Through the BSc in Economics, you will study macroeconomics and microeconomics and can choose from a number of optional modules such as finance, health economics or experimental economics.  You will be able to use the behavioural economics laboratory to run real experiments. You also have open access to the Bloomberg facilities, which are the same trading terminals used in the City. You can take optional modules from the Humanities and Social Sciences and interdisciplinary modules. Single Hons Economics students from the University of Southampton can also take a minor subject, such as a language, web science, criminology, demography, education, sustainability or social policy.  Employability is embedded into modules from the first year onwards. In each year, students take a non-credit bearing module in Economics Skills and Employability. For example, first years take ECON1016. Students can also take modules to enhance their employability in particular areas. For instance, there are modules on Social Enterprise; Economics with Experiments; Ethics in Science, Engineering and Technology, and finance modules which use the University Bloomberg Suite. Our student societies are very active. If you are interested in social enterprise, then we have a thriving Enactus society. Other societies can help you with your chosen career including the Trading and Investment Society, Surge Radio, and the Bright Futures Society. For a complete list visit the SUSU all groups web page.
