Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Economics] From University of Winchester

Economists are indispensable to businesses and the world at large for their ability to analyse complex data and explain it in easy-to-understand terms. As a social science, economics helps us to answer critical questions around banking systems, financial crises, taxes, policy, investment and growth.

It’s an intellectually challenging discipline that shows you how to apply maths and statistical data to solve increasingly complex financial problems. A full set of wider transferable skills make economics’ graduates some of the most highly sought after across a range of sectors.

The modern business world increasingly requires an ability to understand the driving principles of economics and financial operations. This BSc degree provides you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge, understanding, technical skills and confidence to operate successfully in an international and globalised work environment.

Practical application of economic principles and theory are at the heart of the course, recognising the impact of sustainable growth, Government policy and global inequality.
