What will I learn?

This double degree will appeal to students who want a strong, focused and highly regarded business degree, complemented by studies in the arts, social sciences and/or languages. Economics is an influential social science which explores how society can best use finite resources - like time, money and effort. Economics subjects will equip you with analytical and statistical skills you can apply to any government or business role. Core studies in economic theory and econometric methods combined with a specialisation in econometrics, economics or financial economics will give you a solid grounding in modern economics analysis. You can choose from more than 35 Arts majors, where you will develop transferable skills and in-depth knowledge, and gain the tools to think critically, communicate effectively and conduct independent research.
