Additional costs

The annual fee for your course includes a number of items in addition to your tuition. If an item or activity is classed as a compulsory element for your course, it will normally be included in your tuition fee. There are also other costs which you may need to consider.

Employment skills and personal development are embedded throughout our curriculum. All students receive employability sessions in their first year, considering issues such as finding placements or internships, and what jobs you can do with an economics degree. Our courses have a strong emphasis on data analysis from year one, where you will learn to analyse real data using software including Excel and Stata.
