Politics and Economics

About this programme

If you are fascinated by how the world works, how governments make decisions, how economies grow or stall, and how both forces shape everyday life, our BA Politics and Economics degree gives you the tools to understand it all with depth and confidence. This course brings together two powerful disciplines. You will explore global and comparative politics, examining how political systems operate, compete and evolve. Alongside this, you will study the micro and macroeconomic principles that underpin modern societies, from individual decision making to the behaviour of national and international markets. By connecting these perspectives, you will learn to analyse the forces that drive policy, influence elections and determine economic outcomes across the world.
