Final-year options include advanced methodological modules, with some applied choices available.This flexible program offers a year-long paid work placement after year two with top UK employers like the Bank of England and PwC. Graduates are equipped for economist roles across public, private, and third sectors. Key benefits include specialization options, placement opportunities, and strong prospects: 94% of 2020 graduates were employed or in further study 15 months post-graduation (2020-21 Graduate Outcomes Survey).
