Summary

What makes some countries richer than others? How can we measure inequality or the impact of climate change, and what should we do about it? What impact does war have on the global economy? Are education or healthcare investments like the others? How do you measure the success of a political voting system?

BA Economics, Politics and International Relations provides you with the analytical skills and intellectual toolbox to help answer these pressing economics questions and many more. You will learn how to interpret data, understand (and quantify) the decisions made by individuals, organisations, and governments and evaluate public policy both nationally and globally.

Course overview

The course begins by introducing the foundational principles of economic theory, international relations and politics. This degree connects the analytical skills of economics with insights and ways of thinking from politics and international relations. This is an incredibly flexible course allowing you to weight your studies to any and all of the three main subject areas.

Year one will cover the fundamentals of economic theory and practice, Politics in the modern world, and the fundamentals of international relations.

Years two and three allow you to choose modules from across economics, politics and international relations. As your degree progresses and you discover more about both the subjects and about yourself, you have the opportunity to flex this course in ways that speak to your changing interests and strengths. This might lead you to choose modules in:

  • Development economics
  • Economic inequality
  • Political ideas
  • International relations, security and sustainability
