From tackling the gender pay gap to informing policy decisions on the impact of global warming, studying economics at Aston will develop business-critical skills that are transferable across whatever career path you choose.
Our four year BSc in Economics has been created with industry specialists to ensure that you develop the right skillset needed for modern business.
The course addresses current issues and learning gaps in the study of economics with a focus on applying theory to solving real-world issues. Everything you learn will be applied to a real-world context, even down to the way that you are assessed, where you will communicate complex economic theories to non-specialists.
What you’ll learn
You will learn about economic theories and build on your analytical and mathematical skills in order to understand how economics is used to solve a breadth of issues in business and wider society.
You’ll learn about the principles of micro and macroeconomics, mathematics and statistics in economics, econometrics and competition policy, as well select modules to tailor your learning to your areas of interest.
Through case studies, real-world examples and challenges, you’ll explore economics in an applied context and your placement year gives you an opportunity to develop your employability skills.
Your first year is designed to give you a broad knowledge of economics in a business and management setting, which not only helps to appeal to employers, but it also gives you the opportunity to better understand the areas aligned to economics that interest you most. You will then go on to select the modules that best suit your interests and growing range of skills.
