Overview

This course allows you to explore the institutions and practices of modern political systems, alongside the institutions, principles and theories of economics.

You’ll develop in-depth understanding of the economic factors influencing income, wealth and wellbeing, as well as the ways in which they influence public policy. You’ll study microeconomics and macroeconomics as well as gaining a foundation in political theory, international relations, development studies and systems of government.

A wide range of optional modules across both subjects will also allow you to shape your degree to your own interests and career plans – from security studies and international relations to transport, health, business or environmental economics. You can even draw the two subjects together with studies in monetary policy, economic development, the political economy of work and many others.
