Politics and Economics BA Honours (LL21)

This flexible degree is delivered jointly by Politics and Newcastle University Business School.

Our Politics and Economics degree offers the exciting intellectual challenge of exploring two contrasting disciplines of central importance to the contemporary world.

In politics you study:

  • international politics
  • political thought
  • political systems from around the world

In economics you study mathematically focused modules in topics such as:

  • economic analysis
  • political economy
  • analysing economic data

The skills and knowledge you develop will equip you for a range of careers, and you will have the opportunity to specialise further in both disciplines as the degree progresses.

The option to spend a semester studying abroad at Stage 3 adds an international dimension to your degree.
