BSc(Econ) Economics and Politics

The BSc (Econ) Economics and Politics at Queen Mary University of London is an undergraduate program that combines the study of economics and politics in one degree. This program offers a comprehensive understanding of the impact of political processes on economic outcomes, and the reciprocal impact of economic processes on political ones. It features in-depth modules in microeconomics, macroeconomics, and quantitative methods in economics which are coupled with modules in political theory, political economy, and international relations. It is designed to equip students with the analytical tools from the fields of economics and political science to understand the challenges facing politicians, policymakers, and economists in both developing and developed countries. In addition, students have the opportunity to apply economic models and techniques to tackle global critical issues such as poverty, inequality, and economic development while gaining proficiency in understanding and interpreting political affairs and the machinery of government. The course offers a choice of optional modules from the fields of economics, politics and related disciplines, allowing students to tailor the program to fit their interests and career aspirations. The robust training in both disciplines enhances graduates' employability in a wide range of sectors such as finance, government, journalism, policy analysis, and research.
