Economics at LSBU is ranked 6th in the UK, second only to LSE in London and the top ranked non Russell Group university in the UK (Guardian League Table, 2025).

At LSBU we teach real economics, show you the factors which shape the current economic climate and discuss the theories which can explain recent trends. From questioning fundamental economic concepts by reviewing country or industry case studies to developing economic models to forecast what the future holds, we will make you apply economics from the first day you set foot onto our campus.

 

In this course, we take you on an exciting journey of exploring economic ideas, schools of thought and historical events which have led the world economy to where it is today. From sustainability to cryptocurrencies, the BSc Economics introduces students to the vast range of topics which drive the economy. And then we give you a glimpse of the future, leaving it up to you to make your critical judgement of what is yet to come.

 

Our curriculum is informed by the challenges and tasks professional Economists face in a variety of industries. This allows us to equip you with key graduate skills, turning you into an educated, passionate and competitive graduate who will be successful in any career path you choose.
