Economics - BSc (Econ) (Hons)

UCL (University College London)

This programme combines a rigorous foundation in economic theories and quantitative tools with opportunities to consider real-world problems using evidenced-based economic analysis. You'll be taught by experts who combine their research experience with an innovative curriculum and teaching methods, preparing you to research and solve problems independently through an economics-lens in the future. The department's fundamental premise is that students should learn how to do economics themselves, rather than just learn how academic staff or other economists do it. Alongside credit-bearing modules you can get involved with our optional not-for-credit series of Skills Lab modules that run in each year and help you learn how to study independently and other skills useful for the professional economist.You will be taught by distinguished economists whose research confronts real-world issues, such as climate change, inequality, and the financial impact of migration. Several of our professors are directors of leading research centres, Research Fellows at the prestigious Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), and advisors to governments and agencies, including the Office of Budget Responsibility, The Bank of England, and The World Bank.
