Bachelor of Arts - BA in Economics and Politics

The BA Economics and Politics program at Durham University is a three-year undergraduate program specifically designed to provide students an in-depth understanding of the interaction between economic and political systems. The curriculum includes modules in macroeconomics, microeconomics, quantitative methods, political theory, and international relations. The program's structure allows students to maintain a balance between these two disciplines. The program encourages students to develop the ability to apply theoretical knowledge to analyze real-world economic and political issues. Students are also opportune to undertake a dissertation where they can explore an Economics or Politics topic that particularly interests them. The program's interdisciplinary perspectives can equip students with both theoretical and empirical tools needed to address a variety of economic and political problems. This degree could help serve as a foundation for those looking to pursue careers in public policy, finance, law, or non-governmental organizations. The course is also an excellent preparatory path for postgraduate studies. Durham University also provides students with multiple options to study abroad for one term or a full academic year.
