Economics, Politics and International Relations, BA (Hons)

What distinguishes some countries as wealthier than others? How can we assess inequality, the effects of climate change, or the consequences of war on the global economy? Are investments in education and healthcare comparable to others, and how do we evaluate political voting systems? The BA in Economics, Politics and International Relations equips students with analytical tools to address these questions. It teaches data interpretation, decision-making by individuals, organizations, and governments, and the evaluation of public policy at national and global levels.The course introduces foundational principles of economic theory, politics, and international relations, offering flexibility to tailor studies across these areas. Year one covers core fundamentals, while years two and three allow module choices in topics like development economics, inequality, political ideas, and international security. No A-level in Economics or Mathematics is required. Graduates gain a strong grounding in economics and global dynamics, leading to careers in NGOs, think tanks, consultancies, and multinational firms.
