Course Overview

From tackling the gender pay gap to informing policy decisions on the impact of global warming, studying economics at Aston will develop business-critical skills that are transferable across whatever career path you choose. Our four-year BSc in Economics has been created with industry specialists to ensure that you develop the right skill set needed for modern business. The course addresses current issues and learning gaps in the study of economics with a focus on applying theory to solving real-world issues. Everything you learn will be applied to a real-world context, even down to the way that you are assessed, where you will communicate complex economic theories to non-specialists. You will learn about economic theories and build on your analytical and mathematical skills in order to understand how economics is used to solve a breadth of issues in business and wider society.
