Economics, Politics and International Relations BA Hons

How do you encourage an economy to grow? Should governments intervene in the market? What impact does war have on the global economy? An understanding of economics and international relations gets to the heart of how the world works. It’s also highly prized by employers in the private and public sectors.

With a focus on China, Russia, and India, you will learn from some of the field’s top academics. International Relations is taught within the Department of  Politics, Philosophy, and Religion, which strongly believes in using its research throughout its teaching.

All first years study the Principles of Economics. You will also study International Relations.

In your second year, you’ll be able to choose whether you take modules with a more intuitive approach or those that are focused more on analysis, mathematics, and statistics. Subjects include Game Theory, Modern Political Thought, Applied Economics and The Politics of Development.

Your final year includes options such as Sports Economics, Islamic Politics, Advanced Microeconomics and Macroeconomics, and Human Rights. High-performing students also have the opportunity to write a dissertation.
