Economics and International Relations BA (Hons)
This course combines an interdisciplinary approach to the study of economics and international relations. The recent coronavirus crisis has demonstrated how the world’s economy is formed of a delicate balance of interconnected countries and their structures, theories, and policies – which can have such a profound impact on millions of lives around the world.
During your studies, you will develop a strong understanding of macro and microeconomics, in order to understand the way economists' approach and analyse societal problems at the national level, how markets work, and the application of elasticity in the pricing decision of firms.
We build upon the future by learning from the past, so with us, you will discover the historical evolution of international relations theory. From realist and liberal schools to the challenge of Marxist-influenced perspectives, you will explore how theories that draw on philosophies and ideologies shed new light on the discipline.
In your final year, you will then have the opportunity to undertake independent study in an area of interest within economics or international relations.
Duration Option: Four years with a placement
