This broad-ranging BA Economics degree offers formal and rigorous training in economic theory and offers many examples of their real-world applications, providing you with excellent career prospects and invaluable skills for life.

 

The first year at Richmond commences like our other BA programmes with a pioneering liberal arts programme which is inter-disciplinary, encompassing areas such as science and creativity. This programme will develop your key transferable skills which include communication and creative thinking.  All in addition to a course which will give you a thorough grounding in economic ideas.

 

You will begin the second year with an introduction to modern economic history, followed by an exploration of the worlds of microeconomics and macroeconomics.

 

In your third and fourth years, you’ll be able to specialise in electives which appeal to you, as you choose from subjects such as Sustainable Strategic Management, Policy-Making in a Globalised World and Sustainable Development. Diversity and innovation are shown in courses like Behavioural Economics which will open up more opportunities.

 

You’ll also have the opportunity to undertake an internship in a leading financial organisation, alongside a research project on a topic of your choice, improving your career options.

 

We run an active Economics and Investment Society  which organises talks and events, to give a fresh take on Economics. You can also participate in the events we organise for our Wellbeing Research Centre.
