Marked for excellence

Accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB).

The programme will equip you with a thorough grounding in the theory, concepts, principles and techniques of the core subject areas of the discipline: macroeconomics, microeconomics and quantitative analysis. It aims to provide you with knowledge of the workings of the UK economy and the ability to use that knowledge in a range of contexts.

We will introduce you to the breadth and depth of economic analysis and offer you the opportunity to acquire knowledge and technique across a number of specialised areas. These include industrial economics, economic history, labour economics and international economics.

Economics is a numerate and increasingly mathematical subject and, consistent with other universities, some modules will have a quantitative element while others will be of a highly mathematical nature.

Our Economics with Spanish degree will provide you with a thorough understanding of economic analysis and will stimulate you to value this analysis in understanding economic problems and a wider range of social and political issues.

In your third year you will attend a University in Spain and will be taught and examined in Spanish

Course Content
Course structure

The Economics with a European Language programme is a full-time four year course of study, involving both compulsory and optional modules in all four years. Students usually study 120 credits each year and 480 in total.

A significant proportion of the modules included in the programme are taught by the Business School’s Economics Section. Certain modules, notably in year one, are taught by other sections of the Business School. The language modules are taught by the University’s School of Modern Languages.

The third year is spent abroad.

The modules shown are an example of the typical curriculum and will be reviewed prior to the 2022/2023 academic year. The final modules will be published by September 2022.
